Enter Interim/Report Card Grades by Class

On the Interim/Report Card forms, you can use the Enter or Tab key to move from field to field.

1.On the Teacher Home Page or the Class Dashboard, click Enter Interims or Enter Report Cards.

2.On the Interim Entry screen or Report Card Entry screen, in the Class list, select the desired class or class group.

3.(Optional) In the Grade Level drop-down list, select a grade level by which to filter students.

4.Click Show All Students below the Classes area.

Note: To enter grades by student, click the appropriate student in the list.

5.In the Rpt list, select the correct interim or report card. More than one report card may appear in the list.

Note:    Only the report card(s) associated with the students in the class or in the classes included in the class group display in the list.

Note: In class groups, teachers can enter grades only for the students associated with the selected report card.

Note: Click a student's name to open the Student Progress window which displays assignments grouped by assessment or assignment type; individual assignment weights; marks; missing, late or excluded assignments, if any; and comments.

6.Select the checkbox above the current quarter.

7.Click  to automatically calculate and populate the grade using the marks previously entered in the grade book.

Note: For secondary (traditional) report cards, the Year to Date (YTD) Average displays below the Points if YTD calculations were enabled for the report card.

Note: For standards-based report cards, GradeBook automatically populates the grade for each assessment. If an assessment grade remains blank, no assignments were mapped to that assessment during the grading period.

Note: Interims will print with the total SIS hours that were saved on the Interim Entry screen. Report cards will print with the correct quarter totals after the window is closed. SIS Absent/Present Hours are not mapped to virtual terms, which includes interims.

8.To override the automatically calculated interim mark, select the mark, and change it.

9.If you have to manually enter assessments for each student, click the assessment name to view a list of valid codes and their respective descriptions.

10.Close the Valid Marks window.

Note: You can enter an unlimited number of different mark types for a student’s interim/report card; however, the system may perform slowly if a large number of mark types are entered.

11.Select the appropriate code(s) from the list for each student.

12.If  displays in the Reporting Period column, click it to open the Comment window.

b.Click Update.

The Comment window closes.

Note: Once you refresh the screen, you can hover your cursor over  to display the comment.

Note: When entering grades by class, click the name of the student to open the Student Progress window. Assignments display grouped by report card assessments in classes that use the Custom Setup 2 grading scale option.

Note: You may use the  and  icons to jump to the top or bottom of the list if the class includes a large number of students.

Note: A red outline displays around the field () if the grade has not been saved.
