What is a report card:
A Gradebook Report Card is the academic progress report of your school’s academic year for each grading period(term/quarters). It demonstrates the average grade a student has achieved in each grading period (i.e. Term 1) for each course along with each graded assessment from the teacher Gradebook(grade columns).
Step 1:
Go to Grading > Grading Configuration
Create your grading periods (Terms/Quarters) that are included in your academic year.
For example: Quarter 1, Quarter 2, Quarter 3
Step 2:
Add your grading scheme in which you need to assign the grading periods(Terms)
Grading Schemes define two things:
Grading Periods (Grading Terms): Grading schemes define the timing and duration of grading periods, also known as grading terms. These could be quarters, semesters, trimesters, or other academic terms during which students' performance is assessed.
Grade Mapping: Grade mapping specifies how student performance in each grading period is translated into letter grades and/or grade point averages.
Step 3:
Assign grading scheme to class courses
That way you can configure how the students of those class courses are graded.
Now go to any of your courses:
Organize your teacher Gradebook into folders based on the grading periods i.e. if you have 2 Terms/Quarters you will need to create those folders in the teacher Gradebook as well. This step is necessary as inside each folder you will add your grade columns(tests, assignments, quizzes, etc) and will automatically get the average grade for the grading term which will appear in the Gradebook Report card after you copy the folder’s data in the Final Grades respective folder. You will need to also make sure to connect the Term's folder with the Academic term(please refer to screenshot 2).
Make sure you have created 1 folder for each of your Terms
