How do I ensure report cards are not visible to parents before the planned date?

To make sure report cards are not visible to parents before the planned date, follow these checks:

Check the Status in the Report Card Publish Section

1. If the status is “Published”, the report card is visible to parents.
2. If the status is “Generated”, the report card is only visible to staff and not yet visible to parents.

Check the Parent Access End Date

1. Find the class you want to check and click the three dots at the end of the row.
2. Select Edit.
3. Look for the field “Control when & how long a parent/student can access the report card”:
   • If the start & end dates are between today or in the future, the report card is visible to parents.
   • If the dates are in the past, the report card is not visible to parents.
   • If no dates are entered, the report card is also not visible to parents.

These two checks ensure report cards remain hidden from parents until your planned release date.
