Power School ** I hope this helps you out and answers questions when you are navigating through the web site. When you log onto powergrade you see a normal progress report with all grades. If you click on the grade for each subject an overall list appears. The list page has quite a bit of information. The date is the date it was assigned, the category is what type of assignment it is, the assignment tells you the name of the assignment, there is the score which shows the point value, and finally the percentage and grade columns are self explanatory. ** Categories ** Each subject has different categories and each category factors differently into each grade. Grades are weighted. For example, in Writing, a writing assignment that we worked on a week for counts for more points towards the overall grade than a grammar assignment will. ** Assignments ** Some assignments are links in blue and some are just listed. Assignments in blue have more information. For example, in Math, when a quiz is open book, I make a notation on that assignment and it shows up as a blue link. If you click on it, it will give you more information. ** Scores ** Most of the scores are listed as fractions in black. However, a few of the scores are listed in blue as links. Those that are blue have a note attached to them. Simply click on the blue part of the score to view the note. You will generally only see this if an assignment is late or there is some special circumstance. ** Grades by Different Teachers and Emailing ** Some of the grades are given by other teachers (Special Area, Reading, Math, Social Studies), and your child's grades are linked to that teacher's grade book as well. The teacher's name that is responsible for the grade is listed underneath each assignment area. If you have questions in regard to that particular grade, that is teacher you should contact. While you can click on that link and it will take you to email directly, it may not work. It depends on how you have set up your home computer. If your email is set up through a webmail company (yahoo, hotmail, etc...) this link will probably not work. An email box will appear, you will be able to type, and it will appear to send. It really will not though, unless you have programmed your computer to work in that manner. The best thing is to just log into your provider and send us an email that way. ** Handwriting and Homeroom ** No grades are listed in these subjects because no grades are given. Handwriting is listed as a category under writing and is given an E, S, I, N, or U (excellent, satisfactory, improving, needs improvement, or unsatisfactory). There is nothing for homeroom at all. It is still on the program because it ties in with how the high schools do grades. ** Letter codes ** There are various letter codes. I primarily will be using “m” for missing and “l” for late. There is a list of what the letter codes mean underneath the assignments on power school.
