PATH: System Administration > Grading & Standards > Grading Scales

Grading scales are used by the Campus grade book to convert numeric percentages to In Progress grades. Values entered in the Score column must match items defined in the Score Group in order to post grades. The grading scale should include all scores that can be auto-calculated by the Campus Grade Book.

Grading Scales are not dependent on the Year or School selected in the Campus toolbar.

Screenshot of the grading scales setup tool, with a grading scale selected and items displayed. Grading Scales express percentages as letter grades.

For example, a school that has grades of A through F with pluses and minuses would create one item for each grade on the grading scale. Report card grades such as I for incomplete or NC for no credit should not be automatically calculated by Grade book and should be left off of the grading scale. A tool exists in the instruction modules for teachers to create their own personal Grading Scales if district policy allows them to do so.

Creating a Grading Scale

Select the New button.
Enter a unique Name for the grading scale.
Enter the Name for each item in the grading scale, such as A, Pass or Satisfactory. Add additional items by clicking the Add Grading Scale Item button. Remove items by clicking the X next to the item.
Enter a Score for each item in the grading scale, such as A, P or S.
Enter a Min Percent for each item in the grading scale. This number is the lowest percent that will earn the entered score. For example, if the Min Percent for an A is 93 and the Min Percent for an A- is 90, the possible percents that will earn an A- are 90-92. This value can be a decimal with up to three digits before and after the decimal.
Enter a Sequence for each item in the grading scale, which will control the order in which the scores appear.
Indicate which scores are considered Passing.
Click Save to save the grading scale.

Uses in Campus

Grading Scales are created at the district level in System Administration or at the teacher level in the Grade Book. Grading Scales and Assignment Marks are used to score assignments and then converted using Score Groups and Rubrics into values reported on student transcripts.

Grading scales are selected for use in the Grade Book using the Grade Calculation Options.

The Grading Scales Setup tool allows administrators to create grading scales which can then be used to grade assignments in Campus Grade Book. This video demonstrates how to create grading scales.

Tool Search: Score Group

Score Groups and Rubrics are two different ways to determine the scores that make up the basis of grading. While very similar, Score Groups hold objective marks for traditional grading (98% = A, 60% or less = F for example) while Rubrics hold subjective marks for standards grading (Pass, Fail, etc.).

Score Groups and Rubrics are used by teachers to score student work. Rubrics are aligned to standards in the Standards Bank. Score groups are linked to Grading Tasks. Score Groups and Rubrics cannot be removed if they are aligned to tasks or standards. Scores from Score Groups and Rubrics are not typically used in assignments, only in Grading Tasks and Standards, respectively.

Score Groups and Rubrics

The Score Groups and Rubrics editor can be sorted alphabetically by clicking Name or Type.

List Item Options

This table describes the fields associated with Score Groups and Rubrics. See the article for creating Score Groups and Rubrics for more information about how these fields should be used.

Field	Description
Sequence	The sequence determines the order in which the items will appear. This is the order that the scores appear in Post Grades and the Grade Book. If sequences are not entered, scores will appear in alphabetical order. Sequences must be entered for Rubric scores for Proficiency Estimates to work correctly in the Grade Book.
Name	The descriptive name of the item.
Score	This is the score that teachers will assign to assignments and term grades and which will be seen by students in the Portal. This is the value that appears in report cards and transcripts. This value must be unique.
State Score	The State Score value that is mapped to score groups. This value is available for selection on the Transcript. This field is only used in Tennessee, New Hampshire and Minnesota districts.
Ed-Fi Grade Type	Reports the completion status of a course in the Ed-Fi Grades resource. Users should only add the 'Final' Ed-Fi Grade Type value onto grading tasks that are truly the Final grade in a particular course. This field is only used in Wisconsin districts.
Passing Score	This checkbox indicates that the list item is considered to be a passing score. This field determines the color-coded system used in the Grade Book to indicate which students are passing. For Standards and Rubrics, the individual scores will be color-coded as passing or not. For Grading Tasks and Score Groups, the color-coding logic is applied to the In Progress grade. At least one score must be marked as passing in order to save the group or rubric.
Credit Coefficient	This value is used as a multiplier to determine if this score changes the number of credits earned for the course.
Minimum Value	The minimum percent needed to earn this score. This field is only used in conjunction with the Auto Grade Wizard. To calculate a grade when a method of Mean or Decaying Average is selected, rubric scores are converted into numeric values using the Mean Value field on the rubric. Those values are then averaged and converted back into a rubric score using the Minimum and Mean values.
Rollup Value	The numerical value assigned to each rubric score, which is used in generating a rollup calculation. This value only applies to calculation types of Mean and Weighted Mean. For example, when calculating the rollup score using the calculation Type of Mean, the mean of the child standards is calculated using this numerical value and that number is then converted back into a rubric score based on the Minimum Value. The Rollup Value for each score cannot be lower than that score's Minimum Value.
Mean Value	The numerical value assigned to each rubric score, which is used in calculating the Mean of scores received. To calculate a grade when a method of Mean or Decaying Average is selected, rubric scores are converted into numeric values using the Mean Value field on the rubric. Those values are then averaged and converted back into a rubric score using the Minimum and Mean values.
GPA Value	GPA values are usually used only for Score Groups. The weight of the score when calculating GPA. For example, in a Score Group, an A is commonly considered to calculate as a 4, a B as a 3, etc. When a score should not affect the student's GPA, this field should be left blank.
GPA Unweighted Value	GPA values are usually used only for Score Groups. The unweighted GPA value of the score for calculating GPA. When a score should not affect the student's GPA, this field should be left blank.
GPA Bonus Points	Indicates any bonus points for GPA calculation assigned to the score.
Bypass Composite Rule	This checkbox refers to the System Preference to Require all scores for Composite Grading and only displays if it is set to Yes. If this checkbox is marked for a score and that score is posted for a task that is part of a composite setup, that task is not included in the calculation of the composite grade.The composite grade is calculated based on the proportionate weights of the remaining posted grades, based on the same logic that calculates a composite grade if this system preference is not set and grades are not posted for all children tasks. Example scenario: A course has a Final task that is a composite of two Semester tasks and a Final Exam task. However, if students gets an A in both semester tasks, they don't have to take the final exam. In the score group aligned to the tasks, the district includes an grade in the Score Group called Exempt that has this Bypass checkbox marked. Students who don't need to take the final exam receive this Exempt score as the posted grade for the Final Exam task. The composite task is calculated from the remaining posted grades.

For Score Groups, it is recommended that users populate both GPA Value and Unweighted GPA Value, even if the values are the same. These values calculate independently of each other in students' Transcript Tab.

Score Groups and Rubrics can be displayed in Report Cards if the option is selected in Report Card Preferences.

Create a Score Groups

Select New Score Group icon in the action bar.
Give the Score Group a unique Name.
Enter the appropriate information for each desired Score Group List Item. See the List Item Options table following for a description of each option.

Enter the appropriate information for each desired Rubric List Item. See the List Item Options table following for a description of each option.
To include Power Law fields in a Rubric, mark Show Power Law Fields and enter values based on the field descriptions below.
Click Add ScoreListItem to add additional List Items.
Click the Save button when finished.

Power Law Fields

Power law is a mathematical calculation that determines a student's proficiency on a standard based on the trend shown by the scores that student has earned. Power law trend values provide a guide for teachers in determining a student's overall proficiency in a standard. When given a series of proficiency estimates, teachers no longer have to guess at what those estimates mean together.

Campus calculates power law by converting rubric scores into numeric values and applying a standard power law formula to determine the trend of the student's proficiency. This calculation considers both the student's performance and rate of improvement, and the expected rate of improvement for the material. More recent scores are given a higher weight than older scores.

To set up a rubric to calculate power law, mark the checkbox next to the rubric Name to Show Power Law Fields. Three additional fields display for the rubric. These three fields implement established district grading policy, which should be discussed and finalized prior to use.

Power Law Numeric Value: In order to calculate power law trend score, rubric scores must be mapped to numeric values. This field defaults to a whole number for each rubric score starting at 1, but you can change these values to represent the distribution of scores. Keep in mind that even if your rubric uses numbers (such as a 1,2,3,4 scale) these are symbols that represent a proficiency level, not numeric values. Numeric values do not need to match rubric scores.
Power Law Minimum Trend: After the student's power law trend score is calculated, this is the lowest score that will be converted back into the corresponding rubric value in the grade book. Allows up to two decimal places. Gaps between one score's minimum trend and the previous score's maximum trend generate an error.
- Campus recommends setting the lowest minimum as 0.
Power Law Maximum Trend: After the student's power law trend score is calculated, this is the highest score that will be converted back into the corresponding rubric value in the grade book. Allows up to two decimal places. Gaps between one score's maximum trend and the next score's minimum trend generate an error.
- Campus recommends setting the highest maximum as 2 x the highest numeric value.

Please note, all rubric setup should be done based on district policy.

Power Law Top-to-Toe Example

The following steps describe the process of using power law to calculate In Progress grades:

Administrator establishes the Power Law Numeric Value, Minimum Trend, and Maximum Trend values for a rubric. That rubric is aligned to a standard.
Teacher selects Power Law as the method of calculation in the Grade Calculation Options.
Teacher enters rubric scores for students in the Grade Book for assignments aligned to that standard.
Each rubric score is converted into its corresponding Power Law Numeric Value.
The Power Law Trend is calculated from these values. This trend displays in the Trend column of the In Progress area of the Grade Book.
Using the Minimum and Maximum Trend ranges, the In Progress Trend value is mapped back to a rubric score, which displays in the Rubric column of the In Progress area of the Grade Book.
Teacher can post this Rubric score as is or modify if desired.

Course Master Grading Task Editor

Before assigning grading tasks to courses, verify the following:

Grading Tasks have been created in the Grading and Standards area.
Score Groups have been created in the Grading and Standards area.
Credit Types have been created in the Grading and Standards area.

The Grading Task editor provides a list of grading tasks and a detail editor showing specific elements of the selected grading task. The following provides a description of the fields on the Course Master Grading Task editor.

Field	Description	Ad hoc Fields
Score Group	Determines the points and/or letter grades that will be used when scoring the grading task.	GradingTaskCredit.ScoreGroupName
Term GPA	Indicates the weight used when calculating the grade of the student. Refer to the GPA Calculations in Campus article for detailed explanations.	GradingTaskCredit.TermGPA
Credit	Indicates the amount of credit the student receives upon completion of the course or when the course is posted on a transcript. This value depends on the setup of courses. This is usually only populated on those tasks that are posted to transcripts.	GradingTaskCredit.Credit
Credit Type	Indicates the group of credit the student receives when credit is given. This is used in Academic Planning when tracking the progress of the student towards graduation.	GradingTaskCredit.CreditType
Credit Overflow Override	This field is set for a single course Grading Task and is used to roll credits when the current credit type has met its credit requirements. The credits from the course will first try to roll up to the override credit type. If that credit type has met its requirements, it will then look at the overflow setup for the course's credit type. A particular course may be able to count towards more than one credit type. For example a particular CTE course may fulfill a science credit or a math credit. This course would be set up with its default credit type of Math and an override rollup credit type of Science. If the student has completed their math requirement, this course would then be counted as a science credit (only if a science credit was still needed). If both credit requirements were met, then the default rollup would occur, likely going from math to elective credit. See the Setting Up Credit Overflow article for more information.	GradingTaskCredit.CreditOverflowName
Term Mask	Selection indicates when the task is graded. Term masks are always selected when the task is needing to be graded. In a four-term setup, a quarter grade would be graded at the end of each term, which would mean the Term Mask is marked for all four terms. For semester grade tasks, the term mask would only be selected at the end of term 2 and term 4.	This field is not available in Ad hoc Reporting.
Post-only Grading Task	Indicates a grading task cannot be aligned to assignments and categories in the teacher's Grade Book. Post-only Grading Tasks are for posting grades only, not for aligning student work.	GradingTaskCredit.PostOnly Reports a value of 1 if the checkbox is marked; reports a value of 0 if the checkbox is not mark.

Delete a Grading Task from a Course Master

Select the Grading Task to delete from a course from the Grading Task table.
Click the Delete icon. A warning message will appear indicating the Grading Task is about to be deleted. If the Grading Task is used in a composite grade calculation, that calculation must be edited to not use the Grading Task that's being deleted.
Click OK to continue or click Cancel.

Copy a Grading Task to Another Course Master

The entire Course Master can be copied from one school to another using the Copy button on the Course Master Info tab.

Use the Copy icon to easily add the Grading Tasks associated with one Course Master (called the Source Course Master) to one or more other Course Masters in the same Course Catalog (called Destination Course Masters). The Copy icon displays when proper tool rights are assigned.

When copying a grading task from one course master to another:

The Course Catalogs must be the same for the source course master and the destination course master.
Grading tasks that already exist in the destination course master will not be copied again. This means when five grading tasks are selected to be copied in the source course master, but three of those already exist in the destination course master, only the two that do not exist in the course master will be copied.
When a Course Catalog is locked for grading tasks, the copy process pushes the grading task to destination courses.

Copy Grading Tasks

Select a specific grading task to copy or just click the Copy icon without selecting a grading task. When a specific grading task is selected to copy, that grading task is the only one selected to copy; when no grading tasks are selected to copy, all of the grading tasks in that Course Master are automatically selected to copy.
Select the Source Course Master from the dropdown list. This displays the currently selected course master. To change this selection, begin typing in the dropdown field.
Mark the Grading Tasks to Copy. Or, clear the selections by clicking the checkbox in the gray Grading Task Name header.
Select the Destination Course Master:
- All Course Masters: copies task(s) to all course masters in the course catalog.
- Active Course Masters: copies task(s) to all course masters in the course catalog that currently have the Active flag marked.
- Select Course Masters: copies task(s) to the selected course masters. To select a master, type the Number or Name in the search field. Multiple masters can be selected. Click Clear to remove all masters from the list.
Click the Save button to copy the selected grading tasks to the destination course master. This action saves the selection; the grading tasks are not copied until a school year is selected (see the information below).

When the copy is complete, and the catalog is locked, an alert displays asking to which calendar years the information should be pushed. Select the school year from the dropdown and click OK.

A confirmation displays indicating the selected grading tasks from the Source Course Master have been copied to the Destination Course Masters. At this point, the grading tasks are copied and are displayed on the Course Master Grading Task tab of the Destination Course Master.

If there are no grading tasks to copy, an alert displays indicating all selected grading tasks already exist in the destination course master.

Visit the Course Status tool to view a list of all courses associated with a given course master, see the status of grading setup for each course, and relink courses as needed.

Best Practices for Grading Tasks

When using Academic Planning functionality:

When a calendar is assigned a Course Master, the Credit Overflow Override field must be set on the Grading Task of the course in the course master.
When a calendar is not assigned a Course Master, and courses are maintained at each school, the Credit Overflow Override field must be set on the Grading Task of the course.

For districts that have more than one high school and multi-year academic planning is used, it is recommended that Course Masters be created. This reduces the amount of individual course maintenance that needs to be performed.

Power Law Fields

Power law is a mathematical calculation that determines a student's proficiency on a standard based on the trend shown by the scores that student has earned. Power law trend values provide a guide for teachers in determining a student's overall proficiency in a standard. When given a series of proficiency estimates, teachers no longer have to guess at what those estimates mean together.

Campus calculates power law by converting rubric scores into numeric values and applying a standard power law formula to determine the trend of the student's proficiency. This calculation considers both the student's performance and rate of improvement, and the expected rate of improvement for the material. More recent scores are given a higher weight than older scores.

To set up a rubric to calculate power law, mark the checkbox next to the rubric Name to Show Power Law Fields. Three additional fields display for the rubric. These three fields implement established district grading policy, which should be discussed and finalized prior to use.

Power Law Numeric Value: In order to calculate power law trend score, rubric scores must be mapped to numeric values. This field defaults to a whole number for each rubric score starting at 1, but you can change these values to represent the distribution of scores. Keep in mind that even if your rubric uses numbers (such as a 1,2,3,4 scale) these are symbols that represent a proficiency level, not numeric values. Numeric values do not need to match rubric scores.
Power Law Minimum Trend: After the student's power law trend score is calculated, this is the lowest score that will be converted back into the corresponding rubric value in the grade book. Allows up to two decimal places. Gaps between one score's minimum trend and the previous score's maximum trend generate an error.
- Campus recommends setting the lowest minimum as 0.
Power Law Maximum Trend: After the student's power law trend score is calculated, this is the highest score that will be converted back into the corresponding rubric value in the grade book. Allows up to two decimal places. Gaps between one score's maximum trend and the next score's minimum trend generate an error.
- Campus recommends setting the highest maximum as 2 x the highest numeric value.

Please note, all rubric setup should be done based on district policy.

Power Law Top-to-Toe Example

The following steps describe the process of using power law to calculate In Progress grades:

Administrator establishes the Power Law Numeric Value, Minimum Trend, and Maximum Trend values for a rubric. That rubric is aligned to a standard.
Teacher selects Power Law as the method of calculation in the Grade Calculation Options.
Teacher enters rubric scores for students in the Grade Book for assignments aligned to that standard.
Each rubric score is converted into its corresponding Power Law Numeric Value.
The Power Law Trend is calculated from these values. This trend displays in the Trend column of the In Progress area of the Grade Book.
Using the Minimum and Maximum Trend ranges, the In Progress Trend value is mapped back to a rubric score, which displays in the Rubric column of the In Progress area of the Grade Book.
Teacher can post this Rubric score as is or modify if desired.

A side panel displays where the Open Date and Time and Close Date and Time can be populated and saved. Once saved, click the cell again to edit (described above) or click Edit to modify all grading windows for the calendar (described below).
Schedule a New Grading Window Using the Progress Tracker - Click the Edit button. This displays a list of Grading Windows that already exist. To modify those Grading Windows, click that item in the list. To add a new Grading Window, click the Add button. At any time during the process, use the Previous button to move to the previous screen or the Cancel button to begin again; or, click the Progress Tracker checkboxes to return to that specific screen. Detailed steps for this option follow.

Schedule Grading Windows

Scheduling a Grading Window is a four step process that includes selecting the calendars and terms, choosing dates and times for the grading window, and selecting the desired grading tasks and standards.

To see more detailed information about a particular topic below, open the Click here to expand links.

A Year must be selected from the Campus toolbar in order to create Grading Windows.

A progress tracker displays on each screen so users can quickly tell where they are in the process. If there is an issue with one of the selections, an exclamation point displays (i.e, when there are no dates selected or when there are no grading tasks selected). These are indications to revisit that step in the process (click the exclamation point) to verify the entered information is correct.

When editing or adding grading windows, the left side shows a live update to the grading window as long as calendars, terms and dates have been added.

When editing, the left side does a live update. Live Updates to Grade Levels, Grading Tasks

When adding or editing a Grading Window using the Progress Tracker, grading windows that have identical terms, open/close dates and times, and grade levels, the Grading Windows are merged in the table to the left. A pop-up message displays when this happens and the record must be saved.

Calendars and Terms

Calendars are grouped by term structure, like Semesters, Quarters, etc. When a Term radio button is selected (1 Term, 2 Terms, etc.), calendars that have one term or two terms display for selection.

Grading Windows can only be created for calendars with like term structures at one time. This means a Grading Window for a calendar with Trimesters and a calendar with Quarters cannot be created together.

Click here to expand...

Calendar and Term Selection

If a calendar has more than one Term or Schedule structure, that calendar appears multiple times with added criteria. For example, if Emerson High School had two schedule structures - one called Main and one called Alternate - Emerson High is listed as Emerson High School - Main and Emerson High School - Alternate. If Emerson High - Alternate had many term structures, it would be listed in each category, such as Emerson High School - Alternate - Trimesters and Emerson High School - Alternate - Quarters.

To select all calendars, click the Select All button below the Terms heading (and Deselect All to remove the selection).

Once a calendar is selected, Terms for that calendar are enabled and can also be selected. The Grading Window can be set for any combination of terms, meaning the first and third terms can be turned on, or just the first term, or just the third term. Note that the term numbers displayed are the order assigned to the term, and not necessarily the name of the term. This means that a term structure of Q1 (order 1), Q2 (order 3), Q3 (order 5) and Q4 (order 7), the terms display as 1, 2, 3 and 4.

All calendars to which the user is assigned modify rights are listed. At least one calendar and one term must be selected.

Step 1. Calendar and Term Selection

Choose the desired Calendars by locating them in the list. Calendars are organized by the number of terms associated with the calendars.
Mark the checkbox next to the calendar name. More than one calendar can be selected at a time.
Select the desired Terms for the calendars.
Click the Next button to select the dates and times of the Grading Window.

Date and Time Selection

Selecting a date and time for the grading window can be done by choosing the dates from a calendar view or by using the term end dates.

Click here to expand...

Entering information in the Date Range view and then switching to the Term End Date view removes any selected dates in the Date Range view, and vice versa.

The Date Range format creates a single Grading Window for all terms selected in a calendar. The Term End Date format creates multiple Grading Windows, one for each term selected. For example, if term 1 and 3 are selected, choosing the Date Range option allows grades with the term mask of 1 and 3 to be open for grading during one date range; choosing the Term End Date option opens the grading window for two days after the term for four days on different dates.

Dates are required when scheduling a grading window.

Date Range

The Date Range option shows two months of a year, the current month with the current day highlighted in blue and the next month. Arrows allow scrolling to previous months and future months. Click the TODAY option in the upper right side to display the current date as a selected date.

An alert displays to let users know the dates are outside of the calendar dates, but users are not prevented from creating grading windows outside of the calendar dates.

The Open Date cannot be before the Start Date of the selected Calendar. If more than one calendar is selected, the earliest calendar start date is used to validate the Open Date of the Grading Window.
The Close Date cannot be more than 90 days after the End Date of the selected Calendar. If more than one calendar is selected, the latest calendar end date is used to validate the Close Date of the Grading Window.

Dates are selected by clicking a specific date in the calendar, by typing a date in date fields, or by clicking the calendar icon in the date fields. Click the calendar itself to easily jump to a specific month. Times default to midnight (12:00AM) on the entered open date through 11:59pm on the entered close date, and can only be entered in standard AM/PM format.

Date Range Selection

Term End Date

The Term End Date option allows users to choose how many days before or after the term's end date that a grading window is open, grouped by term end dates, starting at a certain time, and for how many days, and closing at a certain time. A list of the calendars chosen in Step 1 display, with the end date of the term.

The entered date applies to EACH term included in the Grading Window.

Only numeric values, including zero (0), can be entered in the Open and Duration fields. Times are entered in standard AM/PM format.

In this example, the grading window is open two days after the term end date beginning at 6:30 am for four days, closing at 8:00 pm. Notice that the Term information from the calendar updates with that information. This calendar's Term 1 end date is August 16. With the entered information, the grading window opens on August 18 at 6:30am and closes on August 22 at 8pm.

Manage Grading Windows

View Grading Windows by Grading Tasks or Standards

Scheduled Grading Windows display on the main view of the grading window, and can be viewed by Grading Tasks (default view) or by Standards by changing the selection of View Grading Window Status By. This view displays for the calendar selected in the Campus toolbar. If that calendar only uses Standards, the Standards view displays, and vice versa.

Click here to expand...

The Grading Task view lists the grading tasks associated with the school in the Campus toolbar and the dates of the grading window for each term. In the example below, grading windows have been scheduled for the Final, Quarter and Semester grading tasks. These display in blue, indicating the dates are in the future.

Grading tasks are only listed in the grid if they are associated to a course in the selected calendar, or previously had a grading window record for the year chosen (for archived tasks; no longer associated but once had a grading window).

Screenshot showing how to view grading window status by grading tasks. View Scheduled Grading Windows by Grading Tasks

The Standards view is organized by the Standards Group Name and lists the standards the school has chosen to score for that calendar. Using the Standards Legend as a guide, it is easy to see which standards for a particular term still need to be scheduled, have been scheduled, are currently open for grading, and any remaining standards that are not assigned to a grading window.

When the most current time slot is in the past (prior to the current date), a count displays in the first column for Closed and is in red text.
When the time slot is currently open and today falls within the grading window range, a count displays in the second column for Open and is in green text.
When the time slot is in the future (after the current date), a count displays in the third column for Future Scheduled and is in blue text.
When there is a task/term combination without any grading window time slots, a count displays in the fourth column for Remaining and is in black text.

Screenshot showing how to view scheduled grading windows by standards. View Scheduled Grading Windows by Standards

In the example above, the five standards in the Write + Speak Standards Group are included in a Grading Window that opens at the end of October. Notice the Future Scheduled value has a total of 5, and the Remaining value is zero (0). The Writing in English Standards Group does not have any standards selected for grading, and the Remaining value is 3 (the number of standards in that group).

In the following example, standards have been scheduled for the Writing in English Standards Group and the Math Concepts and Applications Standards Group. Notice that the Uses standards mechanics standard has a grading window in green, indicating it is currently open, and the Uses proper grammar standard is in red, meaning the window for that standard is in the past. The total for this standards group lists one in the Closed column, one in the green column, and one in remaining column, as there is one more standard in the group that needs to be scheduled.

Screenshot showing what grading window status looks like for standards, color coded and date/time stamped for multiple terms. Additional Standards View Scheduled in the Past and Currently Open

Future scheduled icons display if there is an additional Grading Window scheduled but is not represented on the main grid. In the example below, one grading window is currently open and two additional grading windows exist that are also scheduled for the same term/task combination. Future Scheduled Grading Window

When there is more than one Grading Window currently open, the main grid displays a second row for that Grading Window. There may be different open/close dates or times, but both can be seen from the main grid.

Tool Search: Report Card

The Report Card Batch Report prints student report cards based on the options selected in the editor for multiple students en masse. A saved report card can be printed or the user may select from a list of Display Option Preferences.

Report Card Batch Editor

For students with multiple enrollments:

When the student has multiple enrollments in the same school year, Report Cards print for each school in which the student was enrolled.

Information in the letter sub-reports uses data stored in the AttendanceDayAggregation table. This means that attendance data for the current date is accurate as of the previous night's attendance calculation, or the last time the Attendance Aggregation Refresh was run. If needed, the Attendance Aggregation Refresh tool can be run to force an attendance recalculation to pull in the current day's data.

Report Card Batch Options

Field	Description
Report Options	Select a report that has already been created in Report Preferences. If the Schedule Structure dropdown in the Campus tool bar is set to All, all reports cards for all schedule structures are listed for select. If a specific schedule structure is selected, only report cards for that structure are listed. The selected report card prints grades and attendance related to the selected schedule structure.
Display Options	If there is no report card available in the Report Options dropdown list, or existing report cards do not meet the needs, choose the items to display from the Display Options list. In order to see the Display Options and make selections, users must have tool rights to Report Setup.
Ad hoc Filter or Grade	Select the students to include in the report from an existing ad hoc filter. Only those students included in the filter will have a report card generated for them (if they meet the requirements of the report card). Or, select students by a grade level. All students in the school can be selected at one time, but it is recommended to limit the number of students included in each batch.
Active Only	Marking this checkbox includes only those students who are actively enrolled as of the entered Effective Date.
Effective Date	The entered date reflects the date by which students are actively enrolled. If all students regardless of active enrollment should be included in the report, remove the mark from the Active Only checkbox; this disables the Effective Date field. This field displays the current date but can be modified by typing in mmddyy format or using the calendar icon to select a date.
Sort Options	The Report Cards can be sorted in the following ways: Alphabetical - report cards are printed alphabetically by last name. Grade/Alpha - report cards are printed numerically by grade level, and then alphabetically by last name within the grade level. Zip Code - report cards are printed in ascending zip code order, best for bulk mailings. Teacher - report cards are printed alphabetically by teacher last name, based on the student's teacher assignment for the selected period.
Teacher Sort Options	When the Teacher Sort option is selected, options for selecting the Calendar of enrollment, the Effective Date and the Period of the day appear. If a student does not have a teacher for the selected period in the calendar for the effective date chosen, the student's report card prints first and the teacher's name is blank.
Batch Queue Options	Generating report cards can sometimes be a long process. Submitting reports to Batch Queue allows the batch report to generate in the background while the user is free to use other parts of the product. Users can use the batch queue option to schedule reports to be processed at a later time and keep a record of reports that have been processed. To submit a Report Card Batch Report to the batch queue, select Submit to Batch after entering the appropriate fields in the report editor. A Batch Queue Reporting Options detail window displays.

The following table describes the options available for selection on the Term GPA Report editor.

Editor Field	Description
GPA Type	Indicates which GPA type (weighted or unweighted) reports. See the GPA Calculations in Campus article for more information.
Select Year	Selection indicates from which school year Term GPA data reports. Based on this selection, the calendars for that year are available for selection. The year selected in the toolbar is the default value.
Select Calendar	At least one calendar needs to be selected for the report to generate. Calendars can be chosen by Active Year, by School or by Year. If a calendar is selected in the Campus toolbar, that calendar is automatically selected.
Grade	The grade level(s) to be included in the report. The options available depend on the school selected in the Campus Toolbar.
Ad hoc Filter	Rather than selecting a grade level, users can select a previously-made Ad hoc Filter to indicate which students will appear in the report.
Enrollment Effective Date	Limits report results to only enrollments which are active on the entered date. This option applies to both the grade level and the Ad hoc filter selections.
Term Sequence	Allows selection of the terms to appear in the report.
Minimum Term GPA	When a value is entered in this field, students who have GPAs of the entered value and higher are included in the report. If multiple terms are selected, the Term GPA in all terms must meet the entered value. Values entered here are limited to the System Preference for Number of Significant GPA Decimal Places. For example, if the preference is set to be three decimal places (i.e, 3.123), a value of 3.1234 cannot be entered.
Maximum Term GPA	When a value is entered in this field, students who have GPAs of the entered value and lower are included in the report. If multiple terms are selected, the Term GPA in all terms must meet the entered value. Values entered here are limited to the System Preference for Number of Significant GPA Decimal Places. For example, if the preference is set to be three decimal places (i.e., 3.123), a value of 3.1234 cannot be entered.
Display Options	Indicates what information appears in the report, in order of how they appear on the report. Items with asterisks are automatically selected for display in the report (but can be deselected). Options are: Name - Student's Last Name, First Name Person ID - Student's personID Student Number - Student's local student number Grade - Student's grade level of enrollment Calendar - Name of calendar in which the student was enrolled Rolling Cumulative GPA - Student's cumulative GPA as of the effective date of the report. This option is available when the GPA Type is Weighted or Unweighted. If a calendar uses a Custom GPA, this option is not available. Use Bonus Points - Indicates that the total Bonus Points and a GPA calculated using Bonus Points will also report for each term selected. When choosing the Use Bonus Points option, the display for multiple terms in the PDF is optimized when the System Preference for Number of Significant Decimal Places is set to 1 or 2 places.
Sort Options	Indicates how the results will be sorted. Options are: Alpha Student Number Grade/Alpha Rolling Cumulative GPA/Alpha Calendar/Alpha Term GPA/Alpha
Report Format	The report can be generated in either PDF format or CSV format.

Tool Search: Grades Report

The Grades Report provides a list of selected students and their posted term grades for selected tasks and standards. In Progress Grades are not included.

There are three report modes that can be generated:

All Grades/Scores. Lists all posted grades for the selected group of students, teachers or course/sections.
Missing Grades/Scores. Lists grading tasks and standards that do not have posted grades for the selected students.
Grades/Scores. Lists specific posted scores (A+, B, B+, etc.) for the selected students.

Teachers can also generate a version of the Grades Report for students on their section rosters.

Grades Report

Report Logic

Report logic varies depending on the selected mode. See the guidance for each of those modes for more information.

Labels for DROPPED and STARTED LATE

The student's start date in the selected Course Sections are used to determine which labels print. When multiple terms, are selected, the start date of the earliest term selected and the end date of the last term selected is used to decide the labels print on the report.

If the report is generated for Quarter 1 and the student drops the course or ends enrollment in Quarter 2, the DROPPED label does not display because the roster end date is before the Quarter 2 term end date.
If the report is generated for Quarters 1 and 2 and the student enrolled after the start date of Quarter 1, the STARTED LATE label displays because the roster start date is after the Quarter 1 term start date.

For the Student, Teacher and Course/Section Group By options, when a student has started a course after the first day of the first scheduled term or has dropped a course before the last day of the last scheduled term, STARTED LATE/DROPPED with the appropriate date displays on the student's record one time, no matter how many grading tasks are reported.

Report Editor

Editor Options	Description
Student Selection
Grade	Indicates the grade level in which students are enrolled. Only grade levels available in the calendar selected in the Campus toolbar are listed. When the School field in the Campus toolbar is set to All Schools, all grade levels in the district are listed.
Ad hoc Filter	A selected Ad hoc filter limits records reported to those included in a pre-defined filter. Ad hoc filters are created in the Ad hoc Filter Designer.
Grading Terms
Grading Terms	Lists the terms of the school year included in the report. At least one term need to be selected in order to generate the report. All terms can be selected at one time. The names of the grading terms are based on the Calendar Terms for the selected calendar in the Campus toolbar.
Teacher Selection
Select Teachers	All teachers can be selected, or a specific teacher can be selected. Only teachers who are actively employed in the School Year selected in the Campus toolbar or were employed in the School Year selected are listed. Teachers who are no longer active are available for selection on the report but their names display in red text.
Group By Options
Student	Students are grouped by grade level and sorted alphabetically within that grade level. This provides a very simple report card of sorts for each student. The Teacher Display Name entered on the Course/Section is included as the name of the teacher, and includes courses that do not have active teachers. This option sorts the students by the period.
Teacher	Students are grouped by the primary teacher or teacher (not section staff) assigned to the course/section and sorted alphabetically within that group. The report sorts teachers by active and inactive, determined by their Staff History start and end dates for a particular section. The printed teacher's name uses the first and last name values entered on the person's Demographics record, not the Teacher Display Name entry on the Course/Section. For Active Course Sections (sections whose first day of the first placed term is on or before the current date and last day of the last placed term is on or after the current date): The Teacher or Primary Teacher does not have any start or end dates on the Staff History record. The Teacher or Primary Teacher has a start date on or before the current date and an End Date that is on or after the current date. For Completed Course Sections (sections whose last day of their last placed term is before the current date): The Teacher or Primary Teacher does not have any start or end dates on the Staff History record. The Teacher or Primary Teacher has an End Date on or after the last scheduled day of the course. Sections without an assigned teacher or primary teacher are not included (grades/sections/students) in the report. Page breaks are automatically inserted for this option after each unique teacher.
Course/Section	Reports records by course/section, sorted alphabetically by course name. Students are sorted alphabetically within each group. Teacher names print based on the Teacher Display Name on the Course Section.
Display Term Dates	Determines whether the term dates for each term selected should print in the header of the report.
Display Section Dates	Determines whether the section dates for each section should print by the section name in the header of the report.
Set page break for each Student or Course/Section	Indicates that a separate page should report for each student or Course/Section. This option is not available when grouping by Teacher, as this mode is formatted to print each teacher on a separate page.
Standards/Grading Task Selection
Standards/Grading Tasks	Determines which Grading Tasks and Standards are considered in the report. This selection determines the scores reported.
Modes
All Grades/Scores	This mode prints all posted scores for the selected Grading Tasks and Standards. Only posted grades are reported; In-Progress grades are not included. See the All Grades/Scores Mode section below for more information.
Missing Grades/Scores	This mode prints a list of students who do not have scores posted for the selected Grading Tasks and Standards. See the Missing Grades/Scores Mode section below for more information.
Show Dropped Students	When the Missing Grades/Scores option is selected, indicate whether students who have dropped a course should also be included in the report. Note: this option determines whether students who have dropped the class can be included or not - it is not tied to the logic for reporting the Dropped label for students. Dropped students typically have missing Grading Tasks and Scores.
By Grade/Score	This mode prints a list of students who have received the selected scored for the chosen Grading Tasks and Standards. For each rubric or score group, select which scores to include. See the By Grade/Score Mode section below for more information.

Due to the complexity of this report, consider limit the number of students included in the report, or the number of scores included in the report, and consider using the page break options available in the Group by section.

All Grades/Scores Mode

The All Grades/Scores mode looks for all posted scores for grading tasks and standards for the selected terms and teachers. In-progress grades are not included.

When sorted by Course/Teacher, this report can be used as a progress check or grading overview to see how many teachers have posted grades for the selected terms.

When sorted by Student, the report can be used as a simple report card to use during conferences or to check in with students on their standing in the course.

Report Logic for All Grades/Scores

Any grade posted for a student's scheduled course sections for the selected terms are included in the report. Any course section that does not have posted grades is not included.

Grades Report - All Students, Grouped by Student

Missing Grades/Scores Mode

The Missing Grades/Scores mode looks for grading tasks and standards that are scored for the selected term(s) but have yet to be posted. This report mode is most often grouped by Course/Section or Teacher.

As part of the grading process, schools create a period of time, called a Grading Window, where teachers post scores for grading tasks and standards. At a determined date, the Grading Window closes and schools can then begin processing report cards. Scores that were not posted for a particular section after the Grading Window ends are considered missing. Notifications can be sent to teachers to remind them to post scores.

This mode also allows for the selection of Show Dropped Students.

Notes and Examples

...using the Missing Grades/Scores mode and Show Dropped Students is not marked...

...a student who has a roster end date is considered a dropped student and does not report when the roster end date is in the selected term.

If the report is generated for the term that contains the roster end date, the student counts as dropped.
If the report is generated for a term before the roster end date, the student does not count as dropped.
If the report is generated for a term or terms before the roster end date AND the term that contains the roster end date, the student counts as dropped.
If the student is re-added to the roster, the student is not counted as dropped in the term with the new roster start date.

...using the Missing Grades/Scores mode and Show Dropped Students is not marked...

...a student who has a roster end date before the section end date is not part of the reporting population UNLESS the student has a subsequent roster start date that is after the previous roster end date.

In other words, a student who has been dropped and then re-scheduled into a section is not a Dropped Student in the term(s) that contain the new roster start date.

This student is a Dropped Student in the terms up to and including the term in which the student dropped.
If the student drops and re-enrolls in the same term, then the student is a Dropped Student only in the terms prior to the new roster start date.

Example

The student has a roster end date in Term 2 and a new roster roster start date in Term 3. The student is a Dropped Student in Terms 1-2 but not in Term 3-4. That student only displays in the report if it is generated for Terms 3 and/or 4 (Terms 1-4, 2-4, 3-4, 3, 4, etc.).

If the report is generated for Terms 1 and/or 2 only, the student is a Dropped student and does not display.

...using the Missing Grades option and the Show Dropped Students is marked...

...a student who has a roster end date before the section end date is part of the reporting population, is considered DROPPED and the roster end date reports.

A student who has a roster end date before the section end date and a subsequent roster start date that is after the previous roster end date is part of the reporting population, DROPPED displays when the report is generated for a term that is before or that contains the roster end date;

STARTED LATE displays if the student has a roster start date that is after the section start date.

Example
The student has a roster start date in Term 1, a roster end date in Term 2, and a new roster start date in Term 3. The Missing Grades/Show Dropped Students options are selected.

When the report is generated for Term 1, the STARTED LATE label displays for the first roster start date because the roster start and end dates are compared to the Term 1 start and end dates.

When the report is generated for Term 2, the the DROPPED label displays for the roster end date because the roster start and end dates are compared to the Term 2 start and end dates.

When the report is generated for Term 3, the STARTED LATE label displays for the second roster start date because the roster start and end dates are compared to the Term 3 start and end dates.

When the report is generated for Term 4, the a label does not display because the roster start and end dates are compared to the Term 4 start and end dates.

When the report is generated for Terms 1, 2, 3, and 4:

The STARTED LATE label displays for the first roster start date.
The DROPPED label displays for the roster end date.
The STARTED LATE label displays for the second roster start date.

This is because the roster start and end dates are compared to the Term 1 start date and the Term 4 end date.

Report Logic

The Activity Eligibility Report looks at the student roster of the selected activity course(s) to identify a list of students the report should include. Only courses identified as an activity course (designated in the Course Information editor) will populate in the report's Activity Courses list.

Student eligibility is determined when:

From the report's Activity Courses selection list, the student has an active roster placement in one (minimally) of the selected courses.
The student has an active roster status in at least one academic course WHERE the in-progress grading score OR posted grading score they are receiving matches the Grading Scores selected for the Activity Eligibility Report.

Activity options are defined in the Attribute Dictionary under the Course module.

The following options are available on the Activity Eligibility Report.

Field	Description
Grade	Selection indicates the grade level of enrollment of the students to include on the report. All Students can be selected, if desired; however, this is a complex report and selecting all students at one time may increase the report generation time.
Ad hoc Filter	Instead of selecting a grade level, select an ad hoc filter that includes the students who should be included in the report.
Enrollment Effective Date	Entered date (populated with the current date) indicates the date students are enrolled in the particular SECTION of the activity courses. Students not enrolled as of the entered date are not included. Dates are entered in mmddyy format, or use the calendar icon to select a date.
Grading Terms	Select the terms to include on the report.

Posted Grades are the submitted "final" grade for the term/task that displays on report cards and overrides the In-Progress Grade.
Sort Option	The report results can be sorted by either the student's last name or the name of the activity.
Report Format	Indicates how the report generates - PDF, CSV or DOCX format.

Posting grades copies the grades entered in the Grade Book to students' Grades tab. This is also the grade that posts to the students' Transcripts using the Transcript Post Wizard, if Post to Transcript is marked for the grading task or standard.

Automatic posting means clicking Post moves the In Progress grade or proficiency estimate to the Posted column. Manual means that the teacher is responsible for analyzing the data and determining the student's performance. The posting options available depend on the grade calculation options selected.

Grade Calculation Option Chosen	Posting Options
Grade Calculation Option Chosen	Manual	Automatic
No Calculation	X
In Progress Grade	X	X
Proficiency Estimate - Highest, Mode of 3, Mode of 5, Most Recent	X	X
Proficiency Estimate - Power Law	X	X

Grades can only be posted if the Grading Window is open for the selected Task or Standard.

The grading window may be open for some students and not for others. Students for whom grades cannot be posted display in gray and uneditable. Hover over a cell of the Posted column to see if grades can be posted for a student.

Posting Grades*

* Posting grades is different for standards where the In Progress grade is calculated using Power Law.

Step 1: Populate Posted Grade Column

To post grades, review the In Progress portion of the Grade Totals. Click the red Post button to open the post grades window. Limit the students for who grades are posted by selecting a Student Group or using the filtering options.

The popup shows the source and destination of the grades you are posting. The current Term and Task appear in the from section and is selected by default in the Post to dropdown lists.

Change the destination term and task if you want to post the grades to another task, such as posting to a Progress Report task that is used to report grades but doesn't have any assignments. The Grading Window must be open for the destination grading task or standard. The grading window does not need to be open for the source term and task.

Click OK to copy grades from the In Progress columns to the Posted section, if the In Progress grade is a valid option in the score group. Grades are not yet posted. If you posted grades from one task another, the grade book switches to the context of the destination task.

Screenshot highlighting the Post button that displays in the In-Progress Grades column and the window that displays.

Step 2: Review Grades

Review the Posted grades and make modifications as desired, such as a grade that could round up to the next letter grade. Options in the grade dropdown list are based on the score group aligned to the grading task, rather than the grading scale which determined the In Progress grade.

Enter any comment in the Report Card Comments column (2500 character limit), use the Fill option to add comments for multiple students, or click the CC (canned comments) link to open the comments window.

Posting Grades when Using Power Law

If a rubric score displays in the Post column automatically, read this section.

Power Law is a mathematical calculation that converts proficiency levels into numeric values and determines a trend based on the student's scores. Power Law works on the assumption that standards are assessed at consistent intervals, such as weekly.

Rubric scores are converted using the Numeric Value entered on the Rubric and then the Power Law trend value is converted back into a rubric score based on the trend ranges also entered on the rubric.

For example, you've assessed your class for the same standard each Tuesday for the last few weeks, using a 4 point rubric of U, S, P and HP. Kyle has attained the following proficiency levels:

Using Power Law, his calculated trend value is 3.46, shown in this diagram:

Power law trend values provide a guide for teachers in determining a student's overall proficiency in a standard. When given a series of proficiency estimates, teachers don't have to determine what those estimates mean together.

To post grades, click the red Post button in the In Progress column and choose the Task to post to. In the Posted section of the Grade Totals, you have the option of changing the student's grade if desired.

Selecting Posted Grades when using Power Law

Enter comments as described above.

Once you've verified all student grades, click Save to post grades.
