Instructions

Things You’ll Need:

  • Proper identification
  • Student's identification number
  • Contact information of school
  • Step 1:
    Contact the school. If your child's grades did not show up when they were supposed to, call the school office. For various reasons, the school may be experiencing a delay in shipping out grades. If this is the case, they may be able to reassure you that your child's grades are on the way, resend them or allow you to pick them up yourself.
  • Step 2:
    Check for any fines or fees that your child may owe. If a student does not return all of his textbooks, library books or has outstanding cafeteria or book fees, the school may withhold his grades. If your child's report card does not come on time, check with the school and solve any issues with your child's account.
  • Step 3:
    Check online. Many schools are using secured online systems to post children's grades. If your school uses this service, use the parent or student identification number and passcode assigned by the school to view your child's grades.
  • Step 4:
    Visit the school. If you are unable to obtain your child's grades, visit the school's main office. The receptionist in the office should be able to pull up your child's records and give you a copy. Be sure to bring proper identification, because schools are only allowed to release private records to a child's legal parent or guardian.
  • Step 5:
    Request transcripts. By calling the school office or guidance office, you can request transcripts of all the grades your child has received throughout her education.
