Header Tab
The header is the information that appears above the report data.
PowerGrade automatically inserts some basic information that most
teachers find useful. If you do not want to include this information,
select the default text and press Delete.
In addition to using text in the header, you can also use comment codes. Comment
codes tell PowerGrade what information to pull from your data file. By inserting
a comment code in the header, you are telling PowerGrade to find that field
in the specified records and to insert the data from the field in the report.
It is a merge process similar to that used in word processing.
If you insert <student number>,
PowerGrade finds the data in the student number field of the specified
records and inserts it in the printed report. Take a moment to review
the data codes you can include on your report; they may be different
than those in the example. If you would like a code that is not
included on the list, contact your PowerSchool administrator.

Insert comment code
|
Use the pop-up menu to select the comment code. When you
select the code to include on the report, it appears in
the header field.
When working with comment codes:
- Use the student attendance codes to insert the number
of absences or tardies. When you insert this code, it
appears as either <# absences>
or <#tardies>. The final
report displays the absences or tardies for the entire
year. To display this information for a specific term
only, enter a colon followed by the term after the code.
The following example inserts the number of tardies for
the second quarter: <#tardies:Q2>.
- Use the final grade codes to insert information concerning
final grades. When you insert this code, it appears as
<FG Grade:>, <FG
Points:>, <FG Pts poss:>,
<FG Percent:>, or <Citizenship:>.
The final report displays the specified final grade of
the current term. To display this information for a different
term, enter a colon followed by the term after the code.
The following example inserts the final grade for the
second quarter: <FG Grade:Q2>.
- Use the category codes to insert information concerning
categories of assignments. When you insert this code,
it displays as <CAT points:>,
<CAT pts poss:>, <CAT
percents:>, or <CAT
grade:>. Then, enter the name of the category
after the code to appear, such as <CAT
Points:Homework>. The final report displays
the specified category information for the current term.
To display this information for a different term, enter
a colon followed by the term after the category name.
The following example inserts the category points for
homework in the second quarter: <CAT
points:Homework:Q2>.
