Secondary Parents

Online Marks & Report Cards

Parents can use the above link to view their child's current and past online marks pages for all subjects, as well as their current and past @KOOL report cards, using the same username and password that their child uses to log in to WebCT or Moodle.

The Parent's Role

For the parents of secondary students, your role breaks down into the following main areas:

• The top priority: get the kids out of bed at a regular time!
• Set-up long-term goals and weekly goals. Every week, you should schedule a review for new goals to be set up. These goals should include time for “active living activities as well as time to socialise with friends.
• Keep the school schedule somewhere visible: we suggest “on the fridge, with a magnet, or posted by the computer.
• Plan outings, sport, chores and study time: write these down on the board as part of the weekly goal. Insist on keeping a daily timetable. If the teenager is getting behind in a subject, outings may need to be postponed.
• If a course has deadlines, we encourage parents to keep track of them, and any other milestones in the course. Each online module includes an overview: print a copy, if you can, and keep it handy!
• Try to provide a well-lit room, a place to study away from the television and general goings-on at home. There needs to be time for computer use and a place to keep school books organised.
• Ask your child about their progress. Be aware of what is happening with each of their courses.
• Keep an eye on your childs online marks pages, using the link on the main Parents page of this website, or by clicking here. (You will need your child's username and password to log in to the online marks system.)

If the student in your household is getting behind, please make an appointment with the appropriate teacher right away! If you are concerned about their progress, it’s never too early to call! Just let us know if you need a meeting, we would be glad to see you.
