| Override |
This field allows you to override a student's working semester average with a different grade (e.g., if the student's working cycle average is 69, you may give the student a cycle grade of 70, depending on district policy). You can also type N/G to assign an override grade of no grade. |
||
| Posted Average | The field is blank until a semester grade is posted. Then, the posted semester grade is displayed. |
||
For campuses that do not have semester exams every semester (e.g., a four-semester campus that has semester exams at the end of the second and fourth semesters), the semester averages are only calculated if there is a semester exam for the current semester.
• The Exam field is displayed.
• The Exam field is not displayed. |
|||
| Working Final Grade |
The working final grade includes the posted semester average for any previous semesters and the working semester average for the current semester. NOTE: For alpha grades, it is possible that the student's working cycle average from the Assignment Grades page will differ from the Working Average and Working Final Grade on the Cycle Grades page. The Cycle Grades page uses the highest grade in the range from the corresponding grade conversion table to determine the working average. For example, if the teacher posted a cycle average of 83, it will be converted to a B in the campus records. The Cycle Grades page reads the posted grade B and uses the grade conversion table to determine the Working Average and Working Final Grade. If the highest grade in the range in the grade conversion table is 89, the grade 89 is displayed on the Cycle Grades page.
• If a semester average exists for only one of the first semester course sections, the semester one average is used to calculate the working final grade.
Example 1: (Cycle 1 + Cycle 2) / 2 = working final grade for cycle 2. For students who were enrolled in a different section of the same course during a previous semester, the working final grade includes the posted semester average for the other section. |

You must save your grades before you exit this page. Otherwise, your changes will be lost.
IMPORTANT: Saving grades is different from posting grades. You can only post your grades once at the end of the cycle, as described below; however, you must save any changes every time you visit this page. This allows you to leave this page and return as you enter cycle grade data.
| PIN | Type your four-digit personal identification number (PIN). |

❏ Click Save.
- If your changes were saved successfully, the page reloads, and a message is displayed indicating that the grades were saved successfully.

Post semester grades:
❏ After you enter semester grades data for the course, review your input carefully, and save all changes.
Once the data is posted by the campus administrator, you cannot change any data. If you discover an error after grades are posted, you must contact the campus administrator to correct any errors.
❏ When you are satisfied with your input for one or more of the cycle grades, notify the system that you are ready to post:
| Select courses to mark grades as Ready to Post |
Click the link. The window closes, and the selected course(s) are listed below the PIN field.
The window opens allowing you to re-select the course(s). |
|---|---|
| PIN | Type your four-digit personal identification number (PIN). |
❏ Click Continue.
The page reloads, and a message is displayed indicating that the cycle grades were successfully sent to be posted. The message “[READY]” is displayed in the Course-Section drop-down list next to the course.
You can submit your grades more than one time if you make a change shortly after mark the grades as ready to post; however, once the data is posted by the campus administrator, you cannot change any data.
After grades are posted and the cycle is closed, you can make changes to the grades and view the working cycle average (e.g., for a student who missed the last few days of a cycle due to illness); however, you cannot post any changes. Instead, print your changes and submit your printout to the campus administrator.
NOTE: The campus administrator can run a report to determine which teachers have posted their grades and which teachers have not yet posted their grades.
