Why can't I see my student's grades?

Schools are prohibited from releasing certain information (including grades) to parents without permission of the student because of a federal law (The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, FERPA, also known as the Buckley Amendment).

The law applies to all schools that receive funds under an applicable program of the U.S. Department of Education. FERPA gives parents certain rights with respect to their children's education records. These rights transfer to the student when he or she reaches the age of 18 or attends a school beyond the high school level. Students to whom the rights have transferred are "eligible students."
