Parent Dashboard Help Page
Hello Farm School Families!
We ask that each family add reporting at the end of each semester (especially High Schoolers!) and ultimately complete reporting by June 30th each year. The Parent Dashboard can be found by clicking the GREEN Satellite Login button at the top of this page (or top of the menu if on mobile)
180 Days of Attendance are required by June 30th each school year. Transferred attendance should be sent to records@thefarmschool.community and DOES count towards the 180 days!

COURSES & GRADES EXPLANATION
Please note:
Credits are intended for High School students ONLY. Elementary and Middle School courses that have credits entered will not show on the requirements table at the bottom of the Unofficial Transcript page! There are not mandatory credits for K-8 students.
You can write in course names OR select from a list of courses. If you choose a course AND write in a course name, the written course name will overwrite the selected course.
When entering Semester or Quarter Grades, you will need to enter Possible Points as 100 for EACH entry. The grades will go into the Grade Book section and the Final Grade will be automatically calculated. This will ensure that if you wish to simply input overall grades every semester/quarter that they are distributed evenly!
Each course can be added to ANY/ALL semester(s) or quarter(s). Each Activity/Grade should only be assigned to ONE Quarter or Semester.
If you wish to enter detailed grades or activities into your gradebook, you can choose how many points each entry will be.
-
How it works: Every assignment in the class has a specific point value (for example, a 10-point homework, a 50-point quiz, and a 100-point exam).
-
The math: The gradebook adds up all the points your student has earned and divides that number by the total possible points of all assignments combined.
-
Formula: Total Earned Points ÷ Total Possible Points × 100 = Percentage
-
Impact: Assignments worth more points naturally carry more weight toward your final grade (a 100-point exam affects your grade much more than a 10-point daily assignment).
It is NOT Required to submit detailed grades for each semester, but you may do so if you wish! The MINIMUM Requirement is at least one grade entry per course! We added this feature due to many families wishing for more detailed reporting so that they don't have to track that separately and have a safe place to input that information so it is not lost.
