Time to prepare for reporting 1st Quarter Grades

Teachers,

Report cards will be printed in November. For those schools who are printing report cards from the PowerSchool system for the first time, this post is important to you. For those of you who are new to the system, even though you aren't printing report cards from this system you need to make sure that prior to November 21st the grade that is listed for the quarter is the grade that you wrote on the report card.

THIS STEP NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED AT LEAST THREE DAYS PRIOR TO REPORT CARD PRINTING:

For each class you teach make sure all grades for the quarter have been input in the system. Once you have all grades for each student, look at the Q1 final grade. If you wish to make any adjustments, right click on the score. The only choice you will have is "Score Inspector." Once the dialog box opens up, click in the box "Manually Override Grade" to make the adjustment. Remember to change the number grade as well as the letter grade. This is also the box in which you input comments that will print out on the back of the report card.

Once all grades are correct, let either the office staff or assignment PowerSchool coordinator in your school know that your classes have been verified. You can use the Final Grade Verification Report in PowerTeacher gradebook or the single page Progress Report available in PowerTeacher.
