Note: This only needs to be done when at the end of a Semester or Term to generate Semester / Final averages.
From within the Post Grades Master program, click the Admin button on the toolbar. Select Mass Calc Sem/Final Grades. At the setup box, set the Year, School, and Grade level(s) of students to have semester / final averages to be calculated. Semester to Display Scheduled Students:
- 4x4 Display: Set to ALL.
- 2x8 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. Click the OK button to begin. A message will display indicating that averages are being processed. It will take some time, and when done, a message indicating completion will be displayed. 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.
