In the new window, your name will be at the top with a list of your child's courses showing the current grade. If you have multiple children in DCDS, the names will appear before the courses (arrows). (Unfortunately, there is no way to reorganize the list so all children are grouped together).

You may select a specific course to see the course grading details.

Check Your Course Grades from Within a Course

Go to your desired course and click Grades on the left-hand course menu.

You can view the name of the assignment [1], the assignment due date [2], the score earned [3], and the total point value of the assignment [4]. You can view the scoring details for an assignment (5) by clicking on the Check mark icon. If the instructor left feedback on a submission, a Speech Bubble icon will appear next to the check mark. There could also be a Rubric icon indicating the assignment has a rubric attached to it.

You may also see an icon in the score column [6] indicating the type of assignment submitted. It may also have a crossed-out volume symbol to indicate that the instructor is still working on grading that assignment. Once your instructor has graded the assignment, the icon will be replaced by the score. You can print the grades (7) or view more details by clicking on the Assignment name (1).
