Welcome, Teachers
myCP is the one-stop source for teachers, students, and parents to track classroom participation points. Even though your district has provided software for tracking and publishing attendance, homework and grades, most systems ignore classroom participation, a key ingredient in student success. This system addresses that ingredient.
myCP is available for free unlimited use by any teacher in the U.S. or Canada. The myCP Google Gadget — a simple and rapid way for students and parents to monitor daily participation — can be licensed for a nominal yearly fee.
Follow the instructions in the Getting Started section.

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.
For students and parents, myCP is available to use free of charge, and no login is required.
Teachers
myCP simplifies the process of documenting each student's participation, minimizing the subjectivity and latency. Each student knows how he or she did in class that day. You can even use your Palm or Windows PDA: a few clicks and your participation points are on the web for viewing by parents and students.
