Preparing GradeQuick For Report Cards

Grades and comments for report cards will be pulled automatically from your GradeQuick gradebooks. This will replace entering grades into StarBase.
All comments must be entered into GradeQuick.
Comments codes can be found in handbook as in the past. Additional copies are available in the guidance office.
Any grade overrides must be done in GradeQuick. If you wish to override a grade that is calculated in GradeQuick for the report card grade for any student, that must be done in GradeQuick, also.
- Any grade under 40 must be overridden and changed to 40 in the first 3 quarters.
- Any grade over 100 must be overridden and changed to 100.
Deadlines for having your GradeQuick gradebooks ready to provide accurate report cards will be specified just as deadlines for entering grades have been in the past.

3 things to do in GradeQuick before the report card deadline:

Be sure your grades are as up to date and accurate as possible. (Remember no grades below 40 or above 100 except quarter 4 when below 40 is permitted.)
Input comment codes for report card comments.
Override any quarter (term) grade you have decided to override.

Following are the detailed steps with graphics for preparing your grades for report cards. A more concise, text only version of the same steps is provided near the bottom of the page.

Working With Comments in GradeQuick (top of page)
Open Comment Columns Click View, Student Info... HINT: When working with grades throughout the quarter the comment columns needlessly take up screen space. Working with grades will be easier with those columns closed. Use the steps here in 1, 2, & 3 to close these columns if you wish during the quarter.
C1 stands for "Comment 1", C2 for "Comment 2", etc. Click C1, C2, and C3 to highlight them. OK
Enter comment codes from list in handbook.
To Repeat the Same Comment To enter same comment to the entire column at once, use the Fill Current Column option. Click the cell in the column you wish to fill to highlight that cell. Right-click the highlighted cell. Click Fill Current Column.
Deleting Old Comments If you wish to delete old comments, you can do so by overtyping them, or deleting them separately. But you can delete all the comments in the entire column with the Zap Current Column option: Click any cell in the column you wish to "zap" to highlight that cell. Right-click the highlighted cell. Click Zap Current Column. (This also works for grades in grade columns.)
Overriding Quarter Grades (top of page)
To override a quarter grade: Click the cell to highlight the appropriate grade. Type in the new grade. The overridden grade will appear a different color than other grades in that column, like the grade in the red box. (Red box does not appear.) (Remember no grades below 40 or above 100 except quarter 4 when below 40 is permitted.)
