Dear Parents and Students,
Pinnacle is a great gradebook program for us. I do like most of the program; however, there is a small portion of the program that I must address. Since the program is live, the moment I enter a grade you can see it. This works well, but on the flip side, the moment I enter an assignment then you can see that as well. The computer automatically inserts a missing into any blanks. If you know that your child turned in the assignment then please know that it is just me trying to get all 140 of my students' papers graded. IF an assignment is truly missing I will make a note that will say something like, "I am waiting for the assignment fo be turned in to me."
The good news is that the computer does not enter a zero for the grade so the average is not effected. Sorry it takes me so long to enter grades, but I find that I make fewer mistakes if I enter the grades as soon as I grade the paper.
I am looking forward to a great year. As always you are welcome to email me with any questions that come up during the year. Melanie.thompson@cobbk12.org
Thanks for your patience,
Melanie Thompson
