Compute Final Grade.
o Select the final grade area
from the dropdown. Check the box “Average as Letter” if the final grade is to be
posted as a letter and not a percent. Click on the calculator , located on the
left side of the entry screen, to compute a final grade based on the term grades
and exam. The office will have set up the “calculator” area prior semester’s end
so that the final grades compute properly, according to the percentage
guidelines of the school. If you use the calculator and are using alphabetical
grades, it will average the letter grades NOT the numeric averages.
Copy Grades Between Columns
Use this option
when classes do not meet all of the marking periods of a semester but should be
given a Final grade. This process can be used to copy the marking period grade
to the Final grade area. Follow these steps:
1. Select
the Marking Period where the grades are listed from the dropdown box on the
left.
2. Select
the Final grade that the grades should be copied to in the dropdown box on the
right.
3. Click
the Copy Now (two pieces of paper button) to copy the grades.
Copy Numeric Grades and Convert to Letter Grades
Use this option to post the percentage and letter grade to the office at
the same time. Follow these steps:
1. Choose
the percentage grade area from the dropdown on the left.
2. Choose
the letter grade from the dropdown on the right
o If the appropriate grade area
does NOT show, contact the office so they may ‘turn on’ the proper options.
3. Click
“copy now” (two pieces of paper) button
o All gradebooks that are setup
to auto post into the selected grade area will copy the class grades into that
grade area immediately. If you make any grade changes in a gradebook after
transferring grades, you will need to repeat the 2 steps immediately above this
one to insure that your marking period and gradebook grades are the same.
