The second quarter ended December 20, 2024. Q2 report cards are to be mailed home in addition to being handed out. Report cards will be distributed Wednesday, January 15, 2025. Parents will be able to view the report cards in the portal on January 15 after 3:00 pm. The Q2 (Semester 1) Report Card Checklist (Teachers and School Administrators) 2024-2025 is available on SharePoint. This document outlines the teacher, principal/principal designee and district office (SIS) responsibilities for finalizing Q2 grades and report cards. It also includes instructions on how to generate, print and mail report cards.

PowerSchool has a process for adding the extra points electronically to the quarter grades for Advanced Courses (i.e. honors, dual credit, dual enrollment, capstone industry certification aligned, Advanced Placement, and International Baccalaureate) such that teachers do not have to do this manually. The Q2 (Semester 1) Report Card Checklist explains this process.

If you have questions and/or need additional assistance, please contact your school's assigned SIS Data Specialist.

Principals and APs now have access to an updated MSCS Compass Access App! With this, you can grant MSCS Compass access to any staff in your building. For more information, see the user guide here.
