Teachers are being blamed for student failures due to lack of a grading floor, and are spending excessive time monitoring grades and contacting parents, with no efficient system to automate these tasks.

Workarounds Described

• Manually checks grades for all students
• Emails home individually for missing assignments
• Tracks failing students and contacts in spreadsheets or gradebook notes

Implied Software Gaps

• Automated grade monitoring and alert system
• Automated parent communication tool
• Intervention tracking and logging system

GradeGuard

GradeGuard automates identification of at-risk students and parent communication. Teachers set thresholds for grades and missing assignments, and the system automatically sends alerts and progress updates to parents, while providing a dashboard to track interventions.
