The CPS <a href="http://russ.cuipblogs.org/category/cps/" target="_blank">CPS online grade book</a> is coming soon.   I have spoken to teachers and students at CPS schools where the online grade book will be used soon.   Most teachers are glad to finally get a useful tool, but fear that training may be slow in coming and that the grade book may not work (like IMPACT!)   Students say they will not tell parents/guardians that the online grade book is available to view students' attendance and grades.
