Grades app to shutdown, Aeries to offer alternative
April 20, 2018
The app, Grades for Parents and Students, RHS students check their grades on, will be shutting down on April 30. The app’s newest update states it will be its last and will no longer function following the aforementioned date.
The app was developed by Adrien Truong, who originally created the app for his own personal use. Truong shared his goodbyes in the app’s latest update.
“It’s been an honor developing this app for you all and I’m amazed by how many of you found it useful,” Truong said.
Junior Lauren Scacco finds the app’s ability to predict grades useful and is disappointed in the announcement of its shutdown.
“I’m bummed out that it’s shutting down because I use it literally every day. It has been especially helpful for finals and midterms when you’re trying to figure out how much you need to pass the class,” Scacco said.
Junior Hayden Hatch will miss the ease of the app’s set up.
“It kind of sucks because it’s such a simple app to use, everything about it is so easy. I think it’s also difficult to check your grades on the website because it’s kind of confusing and I just feel like there’s a lot of stuff going on but with this app its really easy,” Hatch said.
The app’s update suggests students download the official Aeries app to check their grades in the future.
