Where's the Final Grade?

You have entered scores for your students throughout the trimester. As you have entered your scores, you have even clicked the “Save” button periodically.

You also know that your work has been saved when the “Save” button is
grayed out. (This is pictured above.)

In spite of all of this effort, there are no final grades showing up in your Web Gradebook. What do you do? Make the Final Grade column in the Web Gradebook wider than it currently is, and the information that you want to see will magically appear!

How do you do this?
1. Move your mouse over the right border of the column, the line that separates the final grades from the rest of the assignments going off to the right.

When you do this, the mouse will change from being a single, big arrow to being a small line with arrows coming out from it in both directions (right and left).

2. Now, click your mouse button and hold it down. Then, drag your mouse to the right. This will expand the width of your column.


As you do this, you will see your data appear in that column!

Another way to see your final grades (and all of a student’s final grades) is by going in to Quick Lookup for a particular student. You can do so in PowerTeacher (the regular web interface rather than the Gradebook specifically). From the PowerTeacher Start Page, just click on the backpack.

Now, click on the name of a student from the list that pops up on the left. Then, using the pulldown menu on the right, click on Quick Lookup. (This is also a great screen to have in front of you when speaking with a parent.)
