Earlier this year, BHS teachers began making classroom grades viewable to students on the X2 Aspen Student Grading Portal. During a one-week period in late September, students were taken to computer labs to open these accounts. They were encouraged to share this information with their parents, and we hope they did so. At this time, we are ready to open the X2 Aspen Family Grading Portal. This will allow you online access to grades, attendance, and contact information for any of your children at BHS. We hope you will make use of this opportunity to stay up to date on your child’s academic progress. We also encourage you to speak with your child about this, as “partnership” is an important component of BHS PRIDE.
This year, use of the X2 Aspen Grading Portal is still a pilot program. The initial expectation for teachers is that they will post grades and publish assignments to the portal at a minimum of two times each term—on the dates progress reports and report cards are distributed. However, we hope some teachers will post grades more frequently and before these dates. Please be aware that teachers will still need ample time to grade student assignments.
A letter with detailed directions and user names to activate accounts will be mailed out on either November 26th (parents with last names A-K) or December 3rd (parents with last names L-Z).
Thank you for your patience as we work to enhance communication about your children’s academic progress here at BHS. If you have any questions about grades in individual classes, as always please encourage your child to speak with their classroom teacher. If you have any questions about the X2 Aspen Portal in general, please contact your child’s guidance counselor or housemaster
