Final Grades
In PowerGrade, a final grade is any grade based on added or averaged
scores. Since PowerGrade immediately processes any score you enter,
a student can get his or her final grade at any time during the
term, even if you only entered one assignment in PowerGrade. When
administrators, parents, or students log in to the PowerSchool server,
they can view students' current final grades. Final grades appear
on the left side of the spreadsheet.
The PowerSchool server is able to alter a final grade based on
the attendance points earned. For example, if the limit is set to
10 points and a student reaches that number in any given period,
PowerSchool can change the final grade administrators and parents
see to NG (no grade).
While the grade on your spreadsheet would not change, it appears
in red to notify you of the change on the PowerSchool server. Additionally,
a tilde (~) appears after any final grades that the PowerSchool
server has changed on your PowerGrade reports. Contact your PowerSchool
administrator to find out if your PowerSchool server is set up this
way.
See the section "Final Grades
Setup" to define how to calculate final grades.
