This guide is intended to assist secondary teachers (grades 6-12) with grade entry for the end of the 2019-2020 school year.

Instructions

Step 1 - Enter Quarter 4 grades

  • For students that opted in to receive a letter grade, the following grades are acceptable:

    • A, A-, B+, B or B-

  • For all other students, a grade of P or I should be entered

    • P (Pass) - the student is completing work and learning

    • I (Incomplete) - there is limited or no evidence of work completed or the student could not be reached

Warning

DO NOT enter grades of C+ or lower, as this will change the grade calculation. Administrators should run the Grades Report to look for any of these grades so that they can be corrected.

Step 2 - Run Quality Points Report / Updater

  • The Quality Points Report / Updater has been modified to address the new grading policy implemented due to the pandemic at the end of the 2019-2020 school year

  • Run the report as you normally would following the instructions here:

Note

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • The enhanced report now takes into account whether a student opted in for a letter grade for Q4, or if they elected to get a P/I grade

  • If a student elected to get a letter grade (B- or higher), the student will only appear on the report if the quality points calculation IMPROVES the student’s final grade.

  • If student received a P or I as the Q4 grade, the quality points calculation will only consider Q1, Q2 and Q3 in the calculation. If the student’s grade improved, it will appear on the report.

Tip

Grade Calc Options:

Please note that there are no changes required by teachers in their grade book regarding grade calculation options. Whether you have your grade book set to look at all 4 quarters or just Q1-Q3, the Quality Points tool takes this into account and will adjust accordingly.
