Grading Best Practices
You MUST make certain that your gradebooks are configured correctly (
i.e.
,
grading
weights and categories
are accurate)
in accordance with
AP 5121.3
and
have an adequate amount of assignments in all categories: Assessment, Classwork, Homework, etc.
For assistance with setting up your g
radebook
assignment categories and percentages, please click
here
.
We only submit
grade
PERCENTAGES; NO letter
grades
(Do not use A, B, C, D, E, P, F, N, I, or W).
If you have a student who has earned a zero in your class, you MUST enter "0" (Do not submit an empty
grade
).
If you have any students who have just been added into your class roster,
please ask the original teacher to generate a
report
of
grades
given to them so far this
quarter
. If you don’t have information about the original teacher, please contact the
ir respective
Guidance
Counselors
.
They can tell you the teacher whom you need to communicate with in order to get your n
ew students' incoming
grades
. If the original teacher is not able to provide you with the needed
grade
reports
even after you communicate with him/her,
you may email me or one of our Counselors (prior to the opening of the
grading
window
) the names and corresponding courses of those students
, and we will try to generate for you an electronic/PDF copy of their
grade
report
.
If you have any students who have just been dropped from your class,
please generate a
grade
report
for these students and be ready to
share the
report
with their respective new teacher(s). Click
here
for in
structions on how to generate a
grade
report
.
Please make certain to check for missing
grades
once you have submitted all of your classes. Please 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.
Every student on your roster MUST have a
grade
submitted for your class. The Student Applications Office will NOT print any of our
grades
if we have not submitted
grades
for every student.
Please send to Guidance any student who is sitting in your class but is NOT on your roster AND in your gradebook. We need to address this issue ASAP.
Please contact the appropriat
e
Guidance
Counselor
if you have
students on your roster whom you have never seen. We need to ensure that this is not a "missed" No-Show student who needs to be withdrawn from our system.
Once you have published grades for a particular class, please go back and CHECK to make certain that the grades you just published are accurate. SchoolMax tends to to hang on to the override grades published during the previous
grading
cycle. Please review
this document
if you need assistance.
P
lease remember that you
can submit and resubmit
grades
for a class
as many times as necessary
prior to the
closing
of the grading
window.
Any grades NOT submitted prior to the closing of the
grading
window
will be entered as a zero ("0").
You may then have to submit to the Principal a request for grade change for EACH of these grades
. Each request MUST be accompanied by proper documentation.
(Please
see
Grade Change Procedure
.)
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/counsel
ors are going to request a schedule change.
Note:
CRI students in ALT classes (including classes with TAP (Pass/Fail) grading strategy) do not receive a progress report from SchoolMax. They will only receive report cards as grade entries.
