TEACHERS CHECKLIST FOR THE END OF the 9 WEEK GRADING PERIOD
45
To post grades, select Grades, select Cycle Grades and use the Course Section drop down box to choose the appropriate class.
1) Verify the student’s working cycle average for each student. If corrections are needed, you may look at the student’s assignment grades or choose to use the Cycle Override field.
The Cycle Override field allows you to override a student's working cycle average with a different grade (e.g., if the student's working cycle average is 69, you may give the student a cycle grade of 70). Any grades that appear in the OVERRIDE field will be posted as the student’s Nine Week Grades. If the Override field is blank, the Cycle Grade Average will be posted as the student’s Nine Week Grades.
2) Enter the Citizenship grade, if applicable. Your campus may have selected to default the citizenship (i.e., S). If so, you may change it to the appropriate citizenship grade (i.e., E).
3) Enter the Report Card Comments in the Report Card Comments field, if applicable. The Comment Legend is accessed by clicking the grey tab to your right. You may select up to five comments per student.
4) The Semester Average and the Working Final Grade is not used at this time.
5) When you have verified that all grades are accurate for each subject or class, click on MARK GRADES AS READY TO POST.
You will then need to enter your PIN and click on Continue. This action will indicate that the grades for that subject or class are complete and accurate.
All changes need to be saved by entering your PIN and clicking on SAVE prior to leaving the page for that particular course/section.
