Displaying Modified Grades On Report Cards Using a Modified Gradescale
1 way to show modified grades on report cards is to add the modified letter grades to the grade scale. To do this;
1. Log into the district.
2. Click on district under setup and gradescales.
3. Click edit gradescale next to the gradescale.
4. Add in the modified grades, such as an *A. Make the cutoff and value a -1. This will cause the grade to be inactive in the teachers’ gradebook.
5. Click on system, PowerGrade Settings, and Update GradeScale to push the changes out to the teachers PowerGrade files.*Note that the teacher will get a warning the next time they open their gradebook asking them to accept the new gradescale so it is a good idea to let the teachers know ahead of time what to expect and they should be sure to accept it!
6. If the teacher has a student with modified grades they can now go into PowerGrade and choose Windows from the main menu and gradescales.
7. Click new to create a new gradescale.
8. Click on the non modified grades and give them a value and cutoff of -1 and check the remove from gradescale checkbox to make them inactive.
9. Choose the modified grades and give them a value and percent and uncheck the box that says remove from gradescale.
10. Apply the modified gradescale to a student by clicking the class roster icon in PowerGrade. Choose the student’s name and at the bottom choose the gradescale. Click Save Changes and OK.
11. Now the grades with an * or whatever you chose to show modifications will show in the gradebook and on the report card.
