Sample Reports

There are a variety of documents you can create using PowerGrade's reporting features. See the following examples for letters and attendance grids created using PowerGrade.

Create letters to give positive feedback to parents or to warn parents of falling grades. You can create either type of letter at any time in the term.

How to Create a Blank Attendance Grid

A blank attendance grid is helpful for substitute teachers. You can print the report and have the substitute teacher use it to take attendance.

When you return to your computer, you must record the attendance in PowerGrade.

  1. Choose an available class from the Classes menu. The class page for the selected class appears.
  2. Choose Reports > Create.
  3. On the Create Reports page, select "Attendance grid report" on the "Basic report info" tab.

  5. Click the Options tab to select how you want the columns to appear and what information to include in each.
  6. Click the Header tab, and enter comment codes and text for the opening in the report header.
  7. Click the Footer tab, and enter comment codes and text for the closing in the report footer.
  8. Click the Which Students tab, and select the students to appear on the roster.
