What do I say in an email to my teacher concerning the grades he has posted for me?

In my experience, teachers would wait up until the last day or so to post grades. I think they just have a lot on their plates, and it takes a while to grade assignments for an entire roster of students.

In your email, just respectfully ask if he has received the assignments, and if he has graded them yet. You don’t wanna sound whiny, nothing annoys teachers more. Just send him a short, honest email and you should be fine. Good luck.

Have you talked to anyone else in your class to see if he might have just been late entering grades?

I would say that there are a number of blanks that you noticed and that you are concerned that grades for assignments are missing since you are sure that you handed these things in. Tell him that you compltely understand that he might not have gotten around to entering the grades since you’re sure he’s busy, but that you wanted to make sure that there wasn’t some kind of issue that you need to work to resolve in order for your final grade to not be negatively affected if there is a problem.

He has two AP US History classes, and then just a normal level class to grade for. everyone else talks about their grades being posted, and knowing their scores before getting them back. so it is just me, and i don’t want to end up failing this semester because he didn’t post my grades correctly.

Ok, but you have a right to ask a question or two. You can be respectful without sounding whiny and remain within the bounds of courtesy and expediency. I don’t expect that a question like this is cause for annoyance. How about:
Hello prof. I noticed some blank spots, and I wanted to be sure that you had all of my assignments. Is there any way you would be willing to review and let me know if I have anything missing?
Try it.

@kayyyyleigh Ok, it’s a bit more concerning if others have grades and you do not. I would ask him exactly what @Trillian said, to get to the bottom of this issue.

Thanks(: I just sent the email:
“Mr. Rider,
I was on PowerSchool tonight and I noticed a lot of empty spots for grades, and I am sure I have handed these things in. I wanted to make sure you had these grades, and if not could you possibly let me know what I am missing so I can get them in. I don’t want these to affect my final grade this semester.
Thank you,
Kayleigh”

Thanks for your help(:

Why say something other than what you mean? Just be straightforward and formal.

Dear Mr. [teacher’s surname]:

I was on PowerSchool tonight and noticed a number of blanks next to assignments I know I have handed in. I am sorry to bother you but I am anxious about my grades, and I want to make sure there are no problems. If you could get back to me about this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

[Your complete name]

You might want to get all those assignments together to prove your case.

@kayyyyleigh Perfect!

There shouldn’t be an issue with just asking you teacher why there are not grades posted. If your teacher never got them, and your classes are online, it could be a failure to have them sent, or they got deleted by accident. As a student, you have every right to simply ask “why.” What Nicobanks said is a good, formal way to ask.

I would email: I know you are very busy however I notice you show I am missing some work. I have done all required work and handed it in, if they have not been posted yet, I unberstand. If there is a discrepency about work being complete or incomplete I would appreciate knowing as soon as possible. thank you for your time
