Report Cards--What Prints?

As the hours
count down until we begin to print the new
intermediate report cards, one of the consistent
questions that has arisen among teachers is, "What
prints from PowerGrade and PowerSchool as a student's
academic grade on the report card?" The answer is
that the letter grade from the letter grade scale is
what prints. Percentages do not print. This
traditional "90, 80, 70, 60" scale is
depicted in another post with an indication of the
pluses and minuses that also exist in the scale. For
Learner Qualities in the elementary schools, the "X"
will simply appear when a teacher wants to express a
specific concern. Comments will appear as they are
entered. Also, the absence and tardy information does
appear on the front page of the report card. This
information is drawn from that which is entered on a
daily basis in PowerSchool Teacher.
