Important Gradebook Information

This is an important message from Student Services:

What to expect with the Progress Report grade pull scheduled for 4:30 on Friday, September 30.

ALL grades and IEP/Reteach notes will become available to parents through Home Access Center starting Monday morning.

When we start the grade pull at 4:30 on Friday their Interim Progress PR and PRC (secondary schools) columns will go gray and become read only.  

This means that no changes to those marks by that teacher can be made.  Assignments that are entered into the gradebook as of that time (4:30) will be used to calculate the average.

However the Comment and Special Code (elementary) columns will remain open and can be edited up until the time the reports are printed.

We are letting you know this because we don't want people to think there is something wrong with the program when they can't change the information in the PR or PRC columns of the Interim Progress.

Example of what the Interim Progress screen will look like after 4:30:

This is how the grade pull process works for determining the grade that will be imported:

If teachers have assignments in their gradebook, the progress report grade pull will load the average based on the average seen on the Gradebook Entry page (any existing IPR marks loaded by the teacher will be overwritten with the exception of the 5 scenario's below). This average will be a 0 if the assignment grades are blank. This average will be blank if all assignments grades are EX, M, Abs or if no assignments exist in the class.

Grades that teachers can enter on the IPR screen that will be used for import:

EX - no grade will be given for that student in the course

I - usually used for newly enrolled students would haven't yet had time to get grades

DC - grade for a duel credit course taught at the collage (High Schools Only)

P - pass/fail grade on some after school PE courses (High Schools Only)

On-line Learning average ... (High Schools Only)

For an on-line learning classes where there should be no assignments in the gradebook (no assignments is the key) they are to enter the percentage average grade directly on the Interim Progress page in the PR column. This percentage will be imported (because there are no assignments to average).
