Broward schools won’t give paper report cards this year. Here’s where to get your grades
The 2020-2021 school year has had a lot of firsts. Online and hybrid learning. Quarantine procedures. Masks.
And now, traditional report cards are getting a pandemic revamp in Broward County.
While Broward County Public Schools will be having in-person socially distanced graduations, they will not be handing out physical report cards this year. Instead, parents and students can now use the district’s “virtual counselor” system to access final grades.
The school district announced the change Wednesday, the day the new system went into effect.
Broward Schools recommends families use the most recent version of FireFox or Google Chrome to access the online system if they are using a PC. Mac users should use Firefox.
Parents and students can go to browardschools.com/virtualcounselor to access report cards.
The district said that although report cards will not be handed out, digital report cards are not new.
“Report cards have been available digitally for many years,” the district’s public information office said in an email. “It is not a new process this year. Parents can download it through the system.”
And, the spokesperson said parents who still want a physical copy of their child’s report card can get one.
“They can get it whichever way they prefer. They can print it directly through the system or request to pick one up from the school,” the spokesperson said.
