Note

After posting grades, you must remove the grade % if you are changing the posted grade to a P or I. Under the Posted heading, the percent column must be EMPTY (not a zero) so that the grades are only averaged for the first 3 quarters. Please note, this does not affect the grade/percentage in the In Progress column - this will remain there for future reference.

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.

...

  • After running the report and reviewing the data,run the report again using the “Run Update” option. This will update the grades in the grade book based on the results of the report.
