After student is enrolled into the appropriate courses, attendance, assignments and grades will be added as they are with other students in the semester version of the course. There is no need to move grades from one section to another, as long as the teacher merges the final grades for the quarter and year.

Info

Copy/paste the message below when sharing this information with teachers:

You have a transfer student (name student) who came into our district with the same or like yearlong class version of the class you are teaching them. They have no final grades for Semester 1 even though they completed that semester. To provide them with the opportunity to gain a full credit, year-long classes have been created to run concurrently with our (Y) classes and apply Q1 and Q2 grades as we have in years past using our quality points system.

  • To this end, you will now see that you have two class sections in the same period. That means you will have to take attendance and enter grades for both sections each day starting tomorrow.

  • You will see additional sections of the same course (yearlong version) on your grade book with this one student. Assignments and grades should be added as they are with other students in the semester version of the course. There is no need to move grades from one section to another, as long as the teacher merges the final grades for the quarter and year. Finally, the teacher should NOT enter a final grade into the previous semester (Y) courses, as this will result in an additional 0.5 credits on the transcript.

  • We know this is a shift in practice. Please talk with the principal if you have concerns or suggestions.

Example:

...

Student Schedule:

  • In this example, the student was moved from the second semester (0.5 credit) version of English 12 to the year-long version (1.0 credit).

...

Teacher View - Grading:

  • In the Campus Instruction Module, teachers will see this new section added

...

Warning

If this is the case, it is important NOT to enter a FINAL grade for the student in their previous section, as this will result in them getting multiple credits for the same course.

...

Teacher View - Attendance:

  • In the example below, the student has been moved from the (Y) section of English 12 to the year-long section. Since this new section is in the same period (period 1 in this case), the teacher will see this student on the same attendance screen as the rest of the students they see that period.
