Faqs regarding preparation for Report Cards

Teachers,

The following must be done before report cards can be printed:

1) Input all assignment grades that are part of the first marking period(date should be no later than November 7th.)

2) Checks and plus signs need to be completed (see previous blog entry dated November 2nd.)

3) Comments need to be added to the quarter grade (see blog entry from September 29th.) Comments should be used sparingly - if you need to write more than one or two comments, set up a conference with the parent. Remember, anything you have in writing can be interpreted many ways by the viewer. Some things are better said than read.

4) If any grades require adjustment for any reason (quarter final grades) they can only be done by the score inspector (this information is also on this blog - 2 posts down.)

Once all of the above steps are done you need to let your principal, the office staff, or PowerSchool administrator know. Once all teachers, including special subject teachers have completed these steps in the required deadline announced at the school, report cards can then be printed.

Report cards look exactly like the ones you've been writing on in previous years. They can not be created for you to view and then make adjustments. Once the grades are stored changing them is a time consuming process. Please follow the above information for a successful report card printing.
