Mass Calculation of Semester or Final Grades for a Single Course video
How-to
Select Grades in the left navigation pane, then Entry and Post Grades Master.
- At the setup box, verify the Year, District, and School. These will be defaulted based on your security settings.
- Select the Grade(s) of students with which you need to work.
- Semester to Display Scheduled Students: Set 4x4 to All and 2x8 to Both as shown below (default).
- Semester Grade Calculation Requirement: Most districts set to "All Marking Period Grades Within Semester".
- Grade Posting Mode: Set to "Report Card Mode" as this is required in order for averages to be calculated.
- Show Dropped Students: Select if the user wishes to see averages for students who have dropped the class. These students will appear “grayed out” at the bottom of the roster of students. The Post Grades Master will look for a leave code of a graduate, so this will prevent the user from editing the grade.
- Click the OK button to begin.
- In the lower left of the screen, select the desired Teacher, and Course. The students and resulting grades should display on the screen.
- Click the Save icon at the top right on the toolbar. The user will notice that the calculated Semester 1 (S1), Semester 2 (S2), and Final (F1) grades will be displayed [4x4 schools will additionally see S3, S4, and F2 for Spring courses]. The calculated letter values will be in lower case, signifying that the grade has been auto calculated.
- If the user manually enters a Semester or Final grade, the letter value will be in upper case. Any recalculation performed will not change the manually entered Semester or Final grade.
