Goal Based Report Card


Note: Most goal based report cards are customized for each client due to the amount of variations school/districts have.  To request a custom goal based report please contact SDS support.  Below are instructions on how to setup your system to use our standard goal base report in the system.

The Goal Based Report is setup to be used for Elementary Report Cards and/or Standard Based Report Cards.

The report works as follows:

     First -- finds the student and ID

     Second – finds the course/subject the student has been registered for

     Third -- finds the student’s gradebooks

     Fourth – finds the assignment date

     Fifth – finds the object key

     Sixth – finds that the assignment has been checked to report on the goal based report card


Basic Steps

1.  Setup Course/s and Register Students

2.  Setup Standard Goals and Objectives

3.  Teacher enters a gradebook (i.e. Reading)

4.  Teacher enters assignments/standards (i.e. Expresses Ideas Clearly).

 

When setting up assignments place a check mark in the “Goal Based Reporting” box. This indicates that the assignment will be included into the grade calculated for that standard/objective/goal. If this is NOT done then it will not display on the report card and will not be included into the calculation of the grade on the report card. You also MUST select a Standard Goal and Objective from the dropdown on the right or the assignment will be ignored on the report!

Detail Steps

1.  Setup Course/s and Register Students’ through Web School Office

Fill in the screen for your assignment. Necessary areas that must be filled in for this report are: Standards Goals and Objectives must be selected, assignment date, and a check in Goal Based Reporting.

Note: You may ask yourself “Why placing a check mark in the “Goal Based Reporting” box is important?” This indicates that the assignment will then show up on the report card. If this is NOT done then it will NOT display on the goal based report card.
