Pilot Program: Northview, Ernest Ward Parents Can View Student Grades Online
April 11, 2010
There is no more waiting for report cards, progress reports or searching book bags for graded tests for parents of students of Ernest Ward Middle School and Northview High School.
Both schools are part of an Escambia County School District pilot program to allow access to the “TEMS” computerized grading program. Parents and guardians of students at either school can request a username and password to see their student’s grades. The grades are continually updated as participating teachers grade assignments and tests, providing a current snapshot of a student’s progress.
The school district plans to eventually expand the program to all schools.
The TEMS grade book systems was implemented for teachers in the 2008-2009 school year. Teachers upload grades eliminating the need for teachers to manually fill in scan sheets for reporting grades.
For complete instructions on how to use the TEMS grading program, click here.

This is a pilot program for these schools, and if problems are incurred, you can find a link on the school’s web page under parent information to report difficulties. Any input would probably be appreciated as this program is tested.
Think this will be a great. Especially if the teachers will update it regularly, but not sure they can/will…the weekly homework pages aren’t some weeks.
Going from the district page, it still says “This feature coming soon.”
I tried it also and got the same error message.
Already with these problems just starting off, it doesn’t give me much confidence that this computer scoring program is going to be as effective as an actual teacher keeping up with their grades and figuring them manually.
My daughter just told me two days ago that her teacher plugged in individual students scores on a English project they were assigned, my daughter achieved a 93 and was hoping her overall class score would increase after that and it stayed the same. That didn’t sound right to me, but then I’m just a parent and not a educator or computer programmer, so what do I know!!!
We can do this in Santa Rosa County already, it is a wonderful tool to help keep up with their grade.
I tried and also go an ERROR. Hope it will be corrected soon. I like the idea of getting grades on-line:)
I tried this about a week ago. And then tried it again today. When I submit the information, a page pops up and says “No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it” . Server Error! Would be a really great thing if it worked. If someone knows what I’m doing wrong, I would welcome the correction. Thanks.
They had that at Pine Forest High back in 2000. The problems with updating grades often was from teachers giving kids time to catch up on assignments.
David thinking those who are going to usually do
This is wonderful, I hope they will get this in all of the schools…
WONDERFUL!!!! I have always thought that it would be best for parents to see the grades that the students make on a regular basis. The progress reports and report cards are good, but really don’t tell us anything. For example – my student has a 82% in English. Ok, how does he have that grade? Is he doing his homework, or did he miss one and get a 0? Have quizzes been a struggle? Is there a test that didn’t go well?
A flat grade of 82% does not tell the parents much of anything. This will be SO helpful in knowing what the student needs to improve on or where something went wrong!
THANK YOU!!!!
Escambia County Alabama has a similar program. Unfortunately the Teachers rarely update the grades or they are behind which causes parents to question what their student is telling them. The system ESC, Al uses has problems all the time, – teacher puts in a grade of 95 and the software shows it as a 59. It creates more headaches than it helps. Hopefully Florida will spend more money on a better system and the principals will monitor that the teachers are taking the time to update their grades.
