Reminders for Attendance and Report Cards

Teachers,

Remember, when taking attendance DO NOT use the "A" for absent code anymore. You must use either "UA" or "XA." Email me if you need to know the difference.

To provide report card comments you MUST enter them only through Score Inspector in the PowerTeacher Gradebook on the Final Grade. Any comments you put through Teacher Comments in PowerTeacher through the Backpack will be visible to parents but will not print on the report card. I reported this information in November and December on this blog.

More screen casts and podcasts to come to help you fine tune your use of the program.
