Grade Reporting > Utilities > ParentPortal Interim Progress Report

This utility allows you to create and print Interim Progress Reports (IPRs) for students that will be available to parents/guardians electronically via ASCENDER ParentPortal. You can also view previously published IPRs.

The IPRs include courses and working cycle averages from ASCENDER TeacherPortal.

Only one record is created per student, and it will always have the last posted data.

❏ Click Create IPR.
