Standard and traditional or historical grades

• If you are using PowerTeacher without the web
  based grade book, you will need to enter in only
  your final averages and the standard grades
• Standard grades appear immediately if you print a
  report card. Standard Grades are the grades that
  use the EGIN grade scale. They are the grades
  that explain a skill.
• Historical Grades are the main grades, for
  example, Math, Reading, etc. They only appear
  after grades are stored at the school office.
  Please consult your report card schedule for
  these dates.
• See the diagram 1A for samples of
  historical/traditional grades and standard
  grades.

Teacher comments

• The teacher comments on this screen do not print
  on the report card. These comments will be
  available to parents after their logins are
  enabled. This is projected for next year unless a
  school asks for an earlier date.
• Teacher comment cards can be obtained from the
  principals online mailing for October. There are
  comment cards for Kindergarten, 1-8 and an
  envelope comment card (if you need that).

Some notes on final grades

• If you are a first or second grade teacher and
  using letter grades, you can select a letter
  only.
• If you are a teacher that uses a percent grade,
  will you please also select a letter grade so the
  admin side of PS can see the grade? If you dont
  do this, the report card will still work.
• If you are a special teacher, please give grades
  for all four quarters or for none of the
  quarters. This is so the final grade average for
  that grade will be correct at the end of the
  year.

Some tips about this screen

• You can use the drop down box to enter the
  standards one at a time.
• You can also type a letter and tab to the various
  fields.
• You may need to have a report card in front of
  you to see what the standards are for each
  subject.
• These standards grades will appear immediately on
  your report card and do not need to be stored by
  the school office.
• You need to click on submit for these grades to
  be saved in PS.

20
Entering standards for one child at a time

• This process is particularly helpful for the
  kindergarten teacher since this report card is
  entirely composed of standards. The kinder report
  card is only given the last three quarter of the
  year and does not depend on being stored by the
  school office.
• Begin by personalizing the screen.

Printing report cards some notes about the
process

• Once grades have been stored, you can begin to
  print report cards. Each school can decide the
  process they need to use to do this. Some
  scenarios could be
• Report cards are printed in the office by an
  admin staff member using the admin side of PS
• Each teacher prints the report card either in her
  or his classroom or using a computer and printer
  in a lab, faculty room, etc.
• The report cards for the first three quarters
  does not need to be returned but the parent
  comment sheet does. You can use regular 8 ½ 11
  paper for the first three quarters.
