Calculated Average |
This is the average calculated using your student's grades and the teacher's method for calculating the average. The calculated average is not displayed for closed (ended) cycles. |
Posted Average |
This is the actual grade that was posted for your student for the class. In some circumstances, the posted grade is different than the calculated average. The Posted Average is the official grade that appears on the report card. For previous cycles, only the posted average is displayed. |
Override Average |
This is displayed if an override grade exists (i.e., an average assigned by the teacher) and there is no posted average. |
Reading Level |
For some districts, this field displays the student's reading level (above, below, or on grade level) for courses that have the word “reading” in the title. |
Transfer Average Weight |
This information is displayed only for students who transferred into the class and have a transfer average from a prior course. For more information on calculating the average using a transfer grade, click here. |
TIPS:
If your student is in an elementary grade level, you may see his progress presented in grids, such as a Number Recognition grid. The grid will contain skills to be learned, and a check mark will indicate if the student has mastered the skill.
From the Grades page, click the Semester Grades tab to see your student's posted semester and final averages. This data is only available for closed semesters. For the current semester, no data is displayed.
For each period, the exam grade, semester average, final grade, and credits are displayed.
Tips:
The exam is your student's semester exam grade for the course.
The semester average is your student's posted semester average for the course.
The final grade is your student's posted final grade for the course. For one-semester courses, this grade is posted after the semester is closed. For year-long courses, this grade is only posted after the final semester of the year is closed.
The credits are the number of credits received for the course that count toward graduation requirements.
If the teacher has provided contact information, office hours, and/or other notes, a yellow note icon appears beside the teacher's name. If the teacher has provided course notes, the icon is also displayed by the course. Click to see the information, and then click close to close the Note window.
