<\/div>

Most of our schools create new Gradebooks for each academic term<\/a>. However, if you\u2019re looking to use a single gradebook for the whole year, here are some recommendations on how you\u2019d do it on QuickSchools<\/a>:<\/p>\n

1\u00a0<\/b>\u2013<\/b>\u00a0Academic Terms<\/b><\/h2>\n

In QuickSchools, you automatically get a new gradebook whenever you activate a new academic term<\/a>. So if you\u2019re going to use the same gradebook year-round, you\u2019ll need to make sure that you only have ONE academic term linked any academic year. You\u2019d probably want to name the academic term the same as the academic year, to minimize confusion. Here\u2019s an example (under \u201cNew Semester Setup\u201d > \u201cView All Semesters\u201d):<\/p>\n

\"Setting<\/a>
Setting up Academic Terms for Consolidated Gradebooks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

2 \u2013 GradeBook Categories<\/b><\/h2>\n

Even though you\u2019re using the same gradebook year-round, you\u2019ll probably want to still separate Gradebook entries by academic term. So we recommend controlling this via the Gradebook Categories<\/a> (under \u201cGrading Setup\u201d). So for example, if you typically have 3 categories for \u201cAssignment\u201d, \u201cHomework\u201d and \u201cTest\u201d, you would now create separate versions of the 3 categories like \u201cT1 Assignment\u201d, \u201cT2 Assignment\u201d, \u201cT1 Homework\u201d, \u201cT2 Homework\u201d, and so on. You\u2019ll see how this is relevant as we show you how the Gradebook will work with these categories:<\/p>\n

\"Gradebook<\/a>
Gradebook Categories for Consolidated Gradebooks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

3 \u2013 Using the Gradebook in Term 1<\/b><\/h2>\n

During the course of the first term, you\u2019d use the Gradebook per the usual. You would also exclusively use the Gradebook Categories designated for the first term. Your Final Grade calculation would then utilize columns and categories for the first term:<\/p>\n

\"Consolidated<\/a>
Consolidated Gradebook for First Term<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The first term report cards would be generated based on the final grades calculated in the Gradebook. These report cards will also need to be LOCKED<\/a> before Term 2 final grades are calculated in the Gradebook.<\/p>\n

4 \u2013 Using the Gradebook in Term 2<\/b><\/h2>\n

Once the first term report cards have been locked with the final grades from the first term gradebook, you would then remove the final grade calculation from the Gradebook. You would then create a second final grade calculation for the second term using the columns and categories from both term 1 and term 2 as appropriate:<\/p>\n

\"Consolidated<\/a>
Consolidated Gradebook for Second Term<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Again, the second term report cards would be generated based on the final grades calculated in the\u00a0Gradebook. Remember that the first term grades were already locked from the previous marking period, and should remain as-is.<\/p>\n

5 \u2013 Calculating a Semester Grade<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you need to display a semester grade in the report cards, you will need to create a separate marking period for it. However, before creating this session, you\u2019ll need to make sure that the second term report cards have been locked with the final second term grades from the Gradebook. From there, just like in the beginning of Term 2, you will need to remove the final grade calculation from the second term final grade, and create a new calculation for the semester.<\/p>\n

If you do want a semester grade to appear in the report cards, you will most likely need a custom report card template<\/a> that grabs the semester grade from the gradebook. Typical report card templates<\/a> will calculate the semester final grade by averaging the final grades from the previous terms.<\/p>\n

This process can get a little messy the more terms you have. Again, please feel free to reach out to our support staff with questions or even recommendations. We look forward to hearing from you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
