Have final report cards been mailed yet? My mailbox is empty.

Yes you stupid kid, I love this time of year, all kid give me $20 and in exchange I leave all FCPS mail under door mat.

Should have come home with the kid or been mailed already.

Yes, mailed and received yesterday (Wednesday, 26th).

This was the first High School report we've received (kid's first high school year). I was expecting to see a GPA on it but none was there (just full year grades, exam grades, and attendance).

Will a GPA eventually appear or is that stored/accessible somewhere else?

Nothing in the mail on Friday. Could they be holding it for some reason?

GPA is accessible on Blackboard through family connection. Or, you can request an unofficial transcript from the high school. Alternatively, you can do the work yourself, which isn't too tough with a calculator. Honors classes have a 0.5 bump, AP has a 1.0 bump, and IB has a 0.5 bump with SL in non-test years, but has a 1.0 bump with HL or in test years.

The Blackboard lead is appreciated.

Just went there and see the GPA as shown (for a single year so far) appears to be 0.05 low - not a whole lot but I'd think this should be rather...you know...accurate. If the calculation ACTUALLY is wrong by the school system, this could have wider ramifications than simply my own kid's grades. I emailed a query about it.

[I don't see how the calculation could have been wrong EXCEPT if the software that computes this is doing something like a running average (take grade, add grade, divide by two, take next grade, add to prior results, divide by two, etc) rather than summing-then-averaging (add up all grades, divide by number of grades, done)]
