Parents: Did you know you can receive a weekly report on your student’s academic progress in your email? This report will tell you your student’s current grade, upcoming assignments, recently changed scores, and whether any assignments are missing. It’s very easy to set up in Aeries, and it allows for a great weekly conversation with your student.
Sample Weekly Progress Report Email
The progress report email looks like this:

Important Note
The information in Aeries is updated by teachers in their time outside of the classroom. Remember it always takes time for teachers to grade assignments and record them, on top of preparing lessons and activities for class. Sometimes an assignment may show up on the Aeries progress report as missing or a grade may appear lower than expected because the teacher has not yet had a chance to update Aeries with the latest work.
This is a great opportunity to teach your child about taking responsibility for their grades and monitoring their own progress. Ask your student about any missing assignments or concerning grades. If your students says they completed that assignment, coach them to double-check to make sure they turned it in. If they did, then coach them to graciously check in with their teacher in person about whether there’s outstanding work not yet updated in Aeries. Sometimes a student believes they turned in an assignment and the teacher hasn’t received it. This can be a good life lesson to teach students how to monitor their own academic progress.
