SIS Gradebook? Final Grading Period.m on Report Card tab

[Anonymous]

In SIS, DCs grade differs on the Report Card tab/final grading period from what is under the gradebook tab for the class.

Is the Report Card/Final the final grade or should we expect updates to align with gradebook? FWIW we like the report card/final grade better.

This HS and final was on Friday.

If the class had seniors in it, the teacher may have posted final grades in SIS for the whole class a while back despite needing to do so only for the seniors. If the final grade in SIS does not factor in the final exam, the teacher will likely repost grades before the deadline, which I would think is tomorrow at most schools.

There are 3 grades.

4th quarter (in a rolling gradebook, this is a year’s worth of assessments and assignments)

Final exam (not all classes will have this)

Final grade (the combination of 4q and final exam averages together in whatever percents were in the original syllabus.

We have to “post” grades to push them into the transcript. We can repost a million times until the final deadline, so if one kid took the final early or needed final grades early due to graduation/checking out early/whatever, likely the teacher just posted the whole class because it’s simpler. They then kept adjusting 4Q grades as work/assignments roll in, and will repost the grade when it’s all finalized.

If they already did their final exam/all work is complete and the final grade doesn’t make sense, please reach out to the teacher.

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

I understand the three grades 4th quarter (rolling gradebook), final exam, and final grade.

The issue is in SIS I see different grades between the gradebook tab and the report card/final period tab.

For example, gradebook tab shows 97 for 4qtr, final exam 84 (one part missing a grade) and final mark as 95 (made up numbers)

The report card/final period tab shows 4th qtr A-, final exam B+, final mark A-.

I’m trying to understand if DC needs to reach out to the teacher. Not sure which grades they are going with…

The report card isn’t posted yet for 4th quarter. Maybe you are actually looking at the third quarter report card.

Report card tab, with “final” in the drop down for grading period is visible for me in SIS Parentvue.

All classes have posted to it, but 1.

The report card in the documents section is not posted

Report cards show just letter grade. Do transcripts that go to colleges also show just letter grade or do they show grade and percentage out of 100?

Sometimes we have to overwrite it. Gradebook might say B+ but student m might get A- and it will now show up it if finalizes

“ The report card/final period tab shows 4th qtr A-, final exam B+, final mark A-. ”

The averaged final grade is an A-. Suppose your child had a 92 going into the final. They scored an 88 on the final, which was 10% of their overall grade.

Their final grade calculation is 0.9(92)+.10(88)=91.6

The A- and B+ averaged to a slightly lower A-.

When are grades final in SIS? Not until the PDF report card is generated? We have a similar issue where the gradebook doesn't match the report card.
