Schedule Changes / Trailing Grades

Schedule Changes / Trailing Grades: 

1. Drop the course(s) that need to be dropped

2. Make sure the last MP is the last six weeks grade that the student will receive from this teacher for this course and section

3. Click on “Keep”

4. Add new course/section.  Regardless of enroll date make sure the first MP is set to the first six weeks for which this student is going to receive a grade in this new course/section.  If you are going to trail grades, the first MP CANNOT be the same as the last MP of the dropped course

5. Click on “Keep”

6. Add the trail information to the new course just added

7. Click on “Keep”

 Troubleshooting errors when trying to trail:

1. Make sure the MP’s are not overlapping

2. Make sure the new course and the dropped course meet during the same marking periods and issue the same marks (check master schedule set-up)

3. If a course is a split block (i.e. periods 08,10), "marks are retained for transcripts" should only be attached to one of the periods on the master schedule.  The second period should have "marks are not issued."  If both periods have "marks are retained for transcripts," you will not be able to trail-from or trail-to.

 If you need to synchronize for just one student:    

1. Go to Report Card Summary

2. Make sure to change Report Card run to ‘1’ and Click on “Synchronize”

3. When asked to delete invalid marks, click on “Yes”

 Printing Report Cards for students with trailed grades:

1. The last MP on the course controls what courses print on the Report Card

2. For example: A student drops a course at the end of the 2nd six weeks and receives a grade.  Then you add the new course for the 3rd six weeks and trail.  If you are still in the process of printing report cards for the 2nd six weeks, this student’s report card will show both courses.
   To avoid both courses showing up (because you trailed the grade), you
   can change the report card run to ‘3’

 To change grade for a trailed course: 

1. Go to Report Card Summary

2. Click on show trailed courses at the bottom of the screen

3. Click on the course description of the dropped/trailed course

4. Change the grade and save

5. Go back to Report Card Summary

6. Make sure to change Report Card run to ‘1’ and Click on “Synchronize”

7. When asked to delete invalid marks, click on “Yes”
