Ms. Brown, I redid that assignment, will you change my grade?
Ms. Brown, I still have a zero in Powerschool for the quiz I made up last week.
Ms. Brown, I finally submitted the assignment that was due two weeks ago, can you grade it please?
Late work, make up work, re-done work: I may get a notification in Schoology, but that doesn’t mean I will remember to update it in PowerSchool. And I certainly can’t stop in the middle of class to update a grade, nor can I be counted on to remember by the time my planning period rolls around.
“Would you please fill out the grade change form?”
Students enter their email, name, class period, the reason for the error, and the title of the assignment. 
The grade change form puts the responsibility on the student to notify me of the issue, and sends me an email I can deal with on my planning period. It lives at the top of my Schoology page, so it is easily accessible to students. Between distance learners, classroom learners, and quarantined learners, I have a lot to keep up with, but the grade change form gives me an easy way to keep up with make up work, and makes one less thing to keep track of in my overworked brain.
Gracias to Elsie Ratcliff for sharing this idea in her fabulous webinar with Jamie Vega. You can find the link to their presentation “Tips for Easy Unit Planning during Digital Learning” on the Georgia World Languages Professional Development page.
