Posting grades on the web is making news in Rockwood these days. Roger Fischer, Chemistry teacher at Lafayette High School, has taken his grade reporting on the web to the next level. Anticipating the future of on-line grades, Fischer has developed a web database system that allows students to view their individual grades on the Internet. Students enter their personal login information and receive a complete breakdown of points and their current letter grade, With Fischer's on-line grade book, students have access to only their individual grade report. This provides students a certain level of privacy and prevents others from accessing their private information.
Parents can access their child's grades at any time.
Click on Mr. Fischer's site and go to Online Grades. You will find a variety of resources to help you utilize programming sponsored by Cable in the Classroom. Cable in the Classroom is a special initiative begun in 1989 by the cable industry to provide public and private schools in the United States with free access to educational television programs. Corresponding teaching ideas, study guides and Internet resources guide teachers and their students to worlds they might not be able to visit without the variety and quality of educational programs available through cable. The web site has a searchable database that will show you when something is being broadcast for that topic area.
