Teachers using MP/Final Grades can use the Report Card Entry screen to enter grades for any Assessments associated to the course, Marking Period Grades and Comments, Semester Averages (if applicable) and Final Grades.
Where to Start
Select Report Card Entry from the Marking Period dropdown menu in your gradebook.
Other Measure Grades
Other Measure Grades can be entered using Report Card Entry. If they were entered on a Marking Period screen, they will carry over automatically to the Report Card Entry screen.
Local/State Baseline Assessment scores will automatically display a Target column after the Score column, and calculated Target Scores after each student’s Score. The Target column is a display-only column.
Local/State Post Assessment scores will automatically display a Proficiency Score (within parentheses) after the Assessment’s Possible Score in the Stats row, and one or two icons after each student’s Score.
A Met Target (T) / Failed Target (T) icon will display when the student’s Post Assessment Score meets/exceeds or is below the student’s Target Score.
A Met Proficiency (P) / Failed Proficiency (P) icon will display when the student’s Post Assessment Score meets/exceeds or is below the Proficiency Score.
Marking Period Grades
Marking Period Grades and Marking Period Comments can be entered or calculated using the Report Card Entry screen, in the same manner as on the Marking Period screen. If they were entered or calculated on a Marking Period screen, they will carry over automatically to the Report Card Entry screen.
An Alpha Grade equivalent will display in parentheses next to a Numeric Grade, based on the school’s Grade Conversion table. A Numeric Grade Equivalent will display in parentheses next to an Alpha Grade, based on the school’s Grades table
Semester Averages
Semester Averages, if set up at the Course Level or School Level using Average Formulas, are entered on the Report Card Entry screen.
To calculate one student’s Semester Average, click in the cell, then click the Calculator icon. To calculate all students’ Semester Averages at once, click Calculate Numeric Scores on the Semester Average column header’s menu.
Semester Averages can be deleted for an individual student by clicking the desired cell and deleting the grade, or deleted for all students by selecting Erase All from the Semester Average column menu.
As with Marking Period Grades, an Alpha Grade equivalent will display in parentheses next to a
Numeric Grade, based on the school’s Grade Conversion table. A Numeric Grade Equivalent will display in parentheses next to an Alpha Grade, based on the school’s Grades table.
Hover over the Formula icon (the Greek letter Sigma) in the Semester Average column to display the Average Formula for the class.
Final Grades
Final Grades can also be entered using the Report Card Entry screen. Final Grades entered or
calculated on the course’s final Marking Period screen will carry over automatically to the
Report Card Entry screen.
Final Grades are rounded to whole numbers. If no weights have been entered, the Final Grade will be calculated as a straight average. If an Average Formula has been set up for the Final Grade at the Course or School Level, it will be used for the Final Grade calculation.
