Access IB Scores

IB students who sit for IB exams in May can access their results using the personalized pin names that Mrs. Tylavsky will distribute in June. Go to http://results.ibo.org beginning in July. If students do not see a numerical grade but a "P" for any course, don't be alarmed. The "P" stands for "pending " due to the large volumes of grades to be entered or mailing delays of examination grades. Call Mrs. Tylavsky at 890-5014 (YHS) or email her at  gtylavsky@ycsd.york.va.us  if you have any questions.
