Post Grades is an essential task in preparing progress report cards for students and families. CCS Elementary courses are scored using a standards-based grading scale. Marks are recorded at the end of each four terms. Each term has a defined grading window during which time the marks are officially recorded. For more information on grading window, click here.
It is not appropriate to enter grades for students that are not scheduled in the course at your school during the grading period.
For example, if a student did not enroll at your school until quarter 2, and you have a report card from the previous school, do NOT enter standard grades for quarter 1 because they were not earned at your school. The teacher SHOULD consider them in when indicating mastery of standards for the course at the end of the year.

Important Tips
If there are students on your list that are not in your class, notify your building scheduler as soon as possible.
NEVER open more than one (1) session of Infinite Campus at the same time in the same internet browser.
Check the year and school at the top of your screen to verify they are correct.
Do not wait until the last day or two that the grading window is open to enter grades. In the event of issues with Infinite Campus, you will need time to get them resolved.
