Activity Bus: Need to stay after school for tutoring? The Activity Bus runs Mondays through Thursdays, at 6:00 pm, and drops students off at their neighborhood school, or it can drop students off at a local Public Library for Public Library Homework Assistance.

Progress Reports and Scholarship Warnings
Progress Reports are given out once each grading period.  Scholarship warnings are sent home when a student is not meeting the standards.  The Progress Report serves as the Scholarship Warning if a student is not meeting standards on the issue date. Click here for dates.

Grade Portal/Online Grades - parents and students can access grades anytime by accessing the parent portal online at https://dcps.mygraeportal.com.  Just bring a picture ID to the main office to get your username and password.

Grade Recovery - A student earning a D or an F on the report card may be eligible for grade recovery.  Forms must be picked up in the main office and taken to the classroom teacher to determine eligibility no later than 2 days after report cards have been sent home. Participation in the grade recovery process is not a vested right and does not guarantee a grade change. Mastery of the first quarter skills and  content is required for a grade change.
