Transfer Averages

Remember that when a student transfers from another school the teacher must input any previous “six weeks” averages in the gradebook. The teacher must create a new assignment called “Transfer Average” and input the grade average in that column within the appropriate six weeks.

You must also mark “no count” for the students who will not receive a grade in this column. Otherwise, the assignment will show as missing in Family Access for all of the students who did not receive a grade.

Category Weighting / Percents

Important! If an assignment category is not used in a six weeks period, the allotted percentage for that category will be distributed among the categories that were utilized.

Example

A teacher set the following category weights:

• Daily (10%)
• Quiz (30%)
• Exam (60%)

No exams were graded. Therefore, the category weight percentages were automatically adjusted. Originally, the Daily % + Quiz % = 40%. The new weightings were adjusted to:

• Daily % = 25% (10% / 40%)
• Quiz % = 75% (30% / 40%)
