¶ Grading Comments and Schemes
Administrators can define different grading schems that can be linked to a track or an individual course. This allows the system to translate a student’s mark into a corresponding letter grade, GPA value, and descriptive rating.
¶ To Create a New Grading Scheme:
- Navigate to: Administration > Grading Comments & Schemes.
- Select the Grading Scheme tab.
- Click New.
- Enter a name for the new grading scheme in the Grading Scheme field and click OK.
- In the Title in Report Card field, enter the heading that will appear on the report card (e.g., Overall Assessment Rubric).
- In the Statement in Report Card field, enter the statement to display in the report card (e.g., Achievement and Personal Excellence).
- For each grade range, enter:
- Minimum Mark – The lowest mark required for the grade.
- Letter Grade – The letter representation of the grade (e.g., B, A+, C+).
- GPA – The numeric GPA value for the grade.
- Description – A short descriptor for the grade (e.g., Proficient, Excellent, Exceptional).
- Repeat Step 7 for all grading ranges required.
- Click Save to apply and confirm changes.
- Use the Delete button to remove an existing grading scheme.
Note:
- A grading scheme can be assigned to a track or to each course individually.
- When assigned, the system will automatically convert a student’s mark into the corresponding letter grade, GPA, and description according to the defined scheme.
Administrators can define outcome schemes that translate outcome ratings into standard letter outcomes with descriptions. These schemes can be linked to report cards to ensure consistent outcome evaluation terminology.
¶ To Create or Edit an Outcome Scheme
- Navigate to Administration > Grading Comments & Schemes.
- Select the Outcome Scheme tab.
- In the Title in Report Card field, enter the heading to display on the report card
e.g., Standard Qualifiers. - In the Statement in Report Card field, enter the statement to display below the title
e.g., Qualifiers for Academic, Personal, and Musical Excellence. - Click Edit.
- For each outcome, enter:
- Letter Outcome – The short code for the outcome e.g., M, A, E, NA.
- Description – The full description of the outcome e.g., Meeting, Approaching, Exceeding, Not Applicable.
- Repeat Step 6 for all required outcomes.
- Click Save to apply changes.
Note:
Outcome schemes allow schools to standardize how student outcomes are presented on report cards, ensuring clear and consistent communication across subjects and grades.
