Check grades and assignments.
Two tiles work together.
Grading shows the letter grade. Assignments shows the work behind it.
Watch first
Turn on grade alerts.
Skyward's short tutorial shows how to enable alerts so you find out about grade changes without keeping the app open.
Step by step
How to check current grades.

Question about a grade?
Start with the teacher.
Teachers are the right first stop for grading questions. For login or app issues, your school office and tech team can help.
