Do you need PowerGrade to drop a lowest grade?

Some teachers drop the lowest grade for a student in the marking period. In order to schedule the lowest grade to be dropped you need to input the information in the final grade setup for each of the classes you wish to drop the grade.

This is also where you choose the weight of categories. To enter this area, either click on "Windows" then "Final Grade Setup" or "Windows" then "Categories." If you chose using the "Categories" section then chose "Weighing" and it will take you to the "Final Grade Setup" screen.

The third choice in the dialog box is "Drop." This is where you chose to drop grades. The number needs to go in the specific category in which you want to drop a grade. For example, if you want to drop the lowest homework grade, chose the "Drop" box on the same line as "Homework." The program will drop the lowest grade for each category you chose.

The next step is to chose the number of grades you wish to drop. If you only drop one lowest grade, then the number "1" should go in the "Drop" box. That tells the program you want to drop only 1 grade in that category (please do not put the parenthesis there - I used them to focus on the number.) If you drop 2 lowest grades in that category then use the number "2."
