Grading scales are defined in GradeBook by your GradeBook system manager. The custom grading scale options in GradeBook can accommodate using traditional and standards-based report cards.. You can assign a grading scale to an entire class and then assign a different scale to one or two individual students. You must select a grading scale and calculation method, if you are using the Custom Setup 2 option, to instruct GradeBook how to translate average marks into report card grades. You can select from the following grading scale options for traditional report cards for standards-based report cards:
•Default – Software automatically uses the default grading scale set up by your GradeBook administrator for the selected class and grade level; no setup is required to use this option
•Custom Setup 1 for Traditional Report Cards – You designate the appropriate grading scale for the class and override that grading scale for individual students as necessary; used for traditional and secondary report cards.
•Custom Setup 2 for Standards-Based Report Cards – Map assignments to your report card assessments, enabling GradeBook to automatically calculate student grades for each assessment on the report card. The report card and assessments are custom defined by the school district. This option also allows you to override the grading scales for individual students as necessary.
