|
Q |
Does GSPM create a lot of
extra work for school staff? |
|
A |
GSPM does create
some extra work, but not as much as you might think. In a nutshell,
everything school staff do is now done in "real time". Data entry by
the teacher is the same data entry that has been done in the past , but
the data is now "real time" data. When our secondary report cards are
on line, the same data that was used before (and the same processes that
were used before) will generate instant results. In many ways, there is
no "new" work, just "different" work. |

my child’s grades? |
|
A |
Please contact your child’s teacher
via phone or e-mail. E-mail addresses can be found on the web page for
each campus located on the faculty page. |
