Teacher Defined Grade Charts

 

Teacher defined grade charts are used to figure the students’ grades within the gradebook. This grade chart is separate from the grade chart used by the office when computing GPA for report cards. Once gradebook grades are sent to the office, those grades are computed using the office pre-set grading scale.

Scroll down to the Custom Grade chart area as shown in Figure 1 above.

Choose a standard grade chart and make the necessary adjustments. Note: This will add a new grade chart option only for the person that created it. This will not replace the standard.

     Adjust the “grade” or “lowest value” columns to reflect the values you want for a grade chart. This area allows you to delete and re-enter new values.

     If you would like to make specific grades stand out visually, you can make them bold by checking the “bold” box. You can make the font of the grade or the background color of the cell a different color. Caution: too many colors will make your gradebook “busy” looking.

When finished give the chart a name in the box to the left of the “-teacher code” and then click on the “Save Grade Chart” button. A new grade chart is saved for that teacher only.

Click on the Hide and Save Settings button to exit.
