Powergrade

Cindy Kalior — Fri, 05 Nov 2004 00:55:59 GMT

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 reading, grades are weighted as follows: AR tests equal 10%, homework assignments equal 35%, and tests equal 55%. You can check the weight of each category by clicking on the category name in blue. It will take you to a screen that shows the weight for its corresponding subject.

Assignments

Some assignments are links in blue and some are just listed. Assignments in blue have more information. For example, in reading several assignments have the same the name so they are linked to another page that lists the story we did for the week and what the assignment specifically entailed.

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, and math), and your child's grades are linked to that teacher's gradebook 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

-E= excused. The student is excused from doing the assignment and it is not factored into the grade.

-A=absent. The student was absent when the assignment was assigned and will be factored into the overall grade at full credit provided the student completes the assignment on time.

-M=missing. The assignment was due, a grade has been given, the student did not turn in the assignment, it is scored as a 0%, and it counts against the overall grade.

-( )=. Parentheses simply mean that this grade will be counted and scored towards the overall grade, but that it simply has not been recorded yet.

Accessing Scores

Please keep in mind that assignments in some subjects take longer to grade than in others (writing). Also, some subjects (social studies and science) have fewer grades than others, but will be even out as the year progresses.
