Welcome to myCP
myCP is a powerful yet easy-to-use resource for teachers, students, and parents who want to monitor the student's classroom participation. Even though your district has provided software for tracking and publishing attendance, homework and grades, most of these systems ignore classroom participation, a key ingredient in student success. myCP provides a point-based system to address that.
myCP is available for free unlimited use by any teacher, student or parent in the U.S. or Canada. The myCP Upgrade package can be licensed by individual teachers for a nominal yearly fee. myCP Upgrade includes access to the myCP Google Gadget — a simple and rapid way for students and parents to monitor daily participation — plus support for a PDA interface that delivers real-time participation tracking, right in your classroom.

Overview
The myCP system is designed to work for students, parents, and teachers. Here's how:
Students
myCP takes the guessing out of that mysterious idea called Class Participation by giving you feedback each afternoon. Check myCP daily to see what CP points you earned, how this compares with the rest of the class, and whether or not your teacher has any special comments for you. It's easy and private.
Parents
myCP helps you answer that question, "How did school go today?" Your child's participation is available for you to see each afternoon.
Students and parents: myCP is available for you to use free of charge, and no login is required.
Teachers
myCP simplifies the process of documenting each student's participation, minimizing subjectivity and latency. Each student knows how he or she did in class that day. With the myCP Upgrade package, you can even use your PDA: a few clicks and your participation points are on the web for viewing by parents and students.
