The Points System is a program that provides the user a way to track student activity automatically as it relates to discipline and attendance.

The user can manually add/remove points to a single student, or perform this task to a group of students.
Each Wednesday night, the JCampus system will update the points earned/lost by the student as a result of discipline and attendance activity.

Additionally, the user can do activities such as:

Setup the automatic points calculation based on attendance and discipline of the student.
Setup the Item Maintenance for items that can be redeemed for points.
Individually work with a student to review or edit points.

How-to

Assigning Points to a Single Student

On the Points System screen, click the Find button and browse to the desired student.
A screen showing weekly summary points will be displayed.
- Items in red are the deductions calculated due to discipline or attendance data for the week. These are summarized in the column labeled Week Neg (Negative).
- Items not in red are the points earned. These are summarized in the column Week Pos (Positive).
- On the far left are the Total Pos (Positive) points earned. It is a cumulative amount that builds from week to week.
- NOTE: Positive points can only be earned when there are no negative points. In other words, if the student has a showing of -50 points, no positive points will be added until the -50 are “made up”.
