Type of Posting

Select the type of posting allowed in TeacherPortal:

Attendance - Instructors can post attendance only.

Grades - Instructors can post grades only.

Indicate if the cycle is currently open for grade posting in TeacherPortal.

Open - The cycle is open, and instructors are allowed to post cycle grades.

Close - The cycle is closed, and instructors cannot post cycle grades.

Allow Semester Override

Select to allow the Grade Posting From ASCENDER TeacherPortal utility to post the override semester average from TeacherPortal, instead of allowing TeacherPortal to calculate the semester average.

If selected, the Semester Override field will be included on the TeacherPortal Cycle Grades page allowing an instructor to override a working semester average. For example, if a student's working semester average is 69, the instructor will be able to enter 70 in the Semester Override field. When the Grade Posting From ASCENDER TeacherPortal utility is run, the override grade from TeacherPortal will be posted as the student's semester grade in Grade Reporting (rather than calculated).

Clear the field if instructors are not allowed to override a semester grade.

Allow Prior Days Posting

Select to allow instructors to post attendance for a date that has passed. Otherwise, instructors can only post attendance for the current date.

Allow Grade Modification to Prior Cycle

Select to allow instructors to change an assignment grade from a prior cycle in TeacherPortal. Otherwise, the fields for prior cycles are disabled in TeacherPortal.

Select to allow teachers to add narratives to report cards on the Cycle Grades page in TeacherPortal. If used, a report displaying the Report Card Narrative comments from TeacherPortal will print on a separate page for each student who has at least one comment for the selected semester and cycle. Only comments for selected course-sections are printed. The Report Card Narrative will only be visible for current cycles; previous narratives will not be displayed for posted cycles in TeacherPortal.

The narratives print on a separate page of the following report cards:

SGR1300 - Secondary Report Cards (2 Semesters)
SGR1350 - Secondary Report Cards (4 Semesters)
SGR1400 - Elementary Report Cards

Weighting Types

Select if you want to allow percentage weighting type at the campus. When using this type, percentages are assigned to each category, and the percentages must total 100%.

Allow Weighting Type Points

Select if you want to allow point-based weighting type at the campus. When using this type, point values are provided for each category, and the point values must equal the total number of points for the cycle. The calculation is based on the total points, not weighting.

Allow Weighting Type Multiplier

Select if you want to allow multiplier-based weighting type at the campus. When using this type, multiplier number (between 1-9) are provided for each category. For multipliers greater than one, the individual assignment grades are counted multiple times. Multiplier-based weighting is often used in elementary schools.

Once a weighting type is used on the Categories tab or used by an instructor on the Categories tab in TeacherPortal, the field becomes locked, and you cannot unselect that weighting type.
