- 4x4 Display: Set to “ALL”.
- Semester Grade Calculation Requirement: Set to “All Marking Period Grades Within Semester”.
- Using this setting means that in order for a Semester or Final average to be calculated, grades for all grading periods need to be present.
Example: P1 grade = “blank”, P2 grade = 85C. Result with this setting will be a grade for S1 of “blank” since not all marking period grades are present.
- If the user selects “LAST Marking Period within Semester”, then the only grade needed to make a semester or final average is the last grading period.
Example: P1 grade = “blank”, P2 grade = 85C. Result with this setting will be a grade for S1 of “85C”. Because only the last grading period average was needed, an average was made even though the first grading period was missing. Note: Use this setting with great caution. Contact your Jpams district coordinator on the proper use of this setting.

- To check the averages, click on a teacher / class at the bottom of the Post Grades Master and locate the computed averages in the appropriate semester / final column. Semesters will be the green highlighted cells. Finals will be the pink highlighted cells.
- In the Semester and Final columns, calculated averages will show an average with a lower case letter, such as 95a, or 4a. This is to show the user that these are calculated averages.
- If the user manually enters a semester or final average, the letter will be uppercase, such as 95A, or 4A. This is to show that these were manually entered semester or final averages.
- Any recalculation performed will not change the manually entered grades in the Semester or Final cells.
