Re: 1st Qtr Progress Report Grading Window OPENS 10/1/2020 and CLOSES 10/5/2020
Good evening Wise Family,
This is just a reminder that the 1st Quarter Progress Report grading window will OPEN on October 1st (Thursday) and will CLOSE on October 5th (Monday) @ 11:59 PM (See SY20-21 Grading Schedule).
For help with Grading and Grade Publishing, please refer to the following:
Also, please pay close attention to the following GRADING BEST PRACTICES:
Publish ALL your grades prior to the closing of the grading window. If you fail to publish your grades by 11:59 PM on 10/5/2020, you are required to submit to the Grade Manager by 10:00 AM on 10/6/2020 (Tuesday), a signed and dated copy of all your missing grades for post-cutoff-date entry into the system. This document will be forwarded to the Principal together with the "Failure to Post" form. Failure to publish grades will also result in disciplinary actions.
Please remember that you can submit (and resubmit) grades for a class AS MANY times as necessary prior to the closing of the grading window.
You MUST make certain that your gradebooks are configured correctly (i.e., Grading Categories and Weights are accurate) in accordance with AP 5121.3 and have an adequate amount and equitable distribution of assignments across all grading categories: Classwork, Independent Practice and Assessments. For assistance with setting up your gradebook assignment categories and percentages, please click here.
We only submit grade PERCENTAGES; DO NOT submit letter grades (A, B, C, D, E, P, F, N, I, or W) unless directed by the Grade Manager or an administrator to do so.
Do not submit an empty grade. Every student on your roster MUST have a grade submitted for your class. Remember: Unless you applied an override, no grades will be published for any students who do not have at least one graded assignment in their gradebook. If a student did not turn in a work assignment or missed an assignment due to an unexcused absence, you must enter a "0" for that assignment.
If you have a student whom you have never seen, contact the Guidance Office first to see if he is receiving Home and Hospital services, on long-term suspension, or a case of "missed" No-show who needs to be withdrawn from our system. For proper submission of his grade, please check with his Guidance Counselor and/or Grade Level Administrator.
If you have any students who have just been added to your class roster, you should contact their respective Guidance Counselors to check if they have any incoming grades for your class. Please do not wait until the last day or hour to resolve your missing grades, if you have any. If the student is a transfer from another class, please ask the original teacher to generate a grade report for this student. If you don’t have information about the original teacher, please contact the student's Guidance Counselor. He/She can tell you the teacher whom you need to communicate with in order to get your new student's incoming grades. If the original teacher is not able to provide you with the needed grade report even after you communicate with him/her, you may email me or the Counselor (prior to the opening of the grading window) the name and course-section of the student and we will try to generate for you an electronic/PDF copy of the grade report.
If you have any students who have just been dropped from your class, please generate a Student Assignment and Grades Report for these students and be ready to share the report with their respective new teachers. Another option is to run an Individualized Student Report.
Please make certain to check for missing grades once you have submitted the grades for all of your classes. Run the Missing Grade Report in APEX even if you get a Y to show that the class grades have been submitted, just to be safe. See directions on how to do this. Remember: You CANNOT access APEX Reports at home; You MUST be logged in to the PGCPS network domain in order to utilize this tool.
You do NOT always get a Y once you have submitted grades. The best way to ensure that grades have been submitted is to run a Missing Grade Report in APEX or check the latest missing grades update from the Grade Manager.
Please note that you are responsible for submitting grades for every student on your roster EVEN IF:
you've never seen the student;
the student has never attended your class;
the student attended for a very short time;
the student is physically attending another class and hasn't had a schedule change;
the student just got a schedule change;
the student is going to get a schedule change;
the student transferred out of your class;
you signed withdrawal papers;
the student transferred from another class/school/country; or
the parents/administrators/counselors are going to request a schedule change.
REMEMBER:
You MUST submit a grade for EVERY student appearing on your roster. One missing grade will prevent our ENTIRE school from having our grade reports posted/printed.
The 1st Qtr Progress Report grading window CLOSES on 10/5/2020 @ 11:59 PM (the time on the server; not at school or your house).
Letter grades (e.g., A, B, C, D, E, P, F, N, I, W) should NOT be used.
Grade reports should be released on or about 10/15/2020 (online).
Please let me know if you have any questions or need further clarification. Thank you very much!
