WVHS teachers use an online grading program called
“Pinnacle”. One benefit to this program is the ability for parents
and students to view their grades and assignments at any time from
the Internet. Any changes made in the gradebook are immediately
reflected in the parent/student viewer. Every effort is made by
teachers to record grades in a timely fashion but be aware there may
extenuating circumstances that, at times, may delay grade postings.
Please be aware that this is NOT an official report card.
Please read the directions to insure proper access and
understanding
of the gradebook viewer. Click here for the instructions document.
You will need the student's ID # and password in
order to access the site. Passwords are changed each year (over the
summer) and students are not able to change them. Parents: for
security reasons, please obtain your students' passwords from them.
If they claim that they do not know/lost/forgot the password, they
can go to the LMC, show their ID and obtain it. It is vital that
passwords be kept confidential.
The site to view grades is
https://gradebook.ipsd.org/
You should then click on the “Parents & Students Pinnacle Internet
Viewer”
on the left side.
This takes you to the login screen.
Student ID
must be a 12 digit # with zeroes in front of the ID #.
Examples: if the ID # is 12345, you would enter 000000012345 (seven
zeroes).
If the ID # is 1023456, you enter 000001023456 (five zeroes).
Password
is the student's six-digit computer login password
(all lowercase).
School:
Select "Waubonsie
Valley High School" from
the pull down box.
Then click “login”.
On the next screen (it may take a few seconds) a
grade summary by class will appear.
If entry is not allowed, please double check that you have entered
the full correct 12-digit ID and the the password is correct (six
digits and lowercase).
Then you can drill down to individual classes and assignments.
On the upper left, you can select a
class.
In the middle left, the most useful
pull down is either “student assignments” or “category
progress summary”.
On the lower left, you can choose the
Grading period.
Once you’ve made those choices, click on “Get
Report” to view your selection.
****Further down on the left is an option for you to
sign up for an automatic email notification if a grade drops below
or rises above your desired % or to simply receive regular
updates. You can also receive regular updates on grades. (A
suggested frequency is once a week.)****
