I believe laptops in several ways can make the experience of work for the teachers a much more pleasant one. Because they are spending most if not all their...
Will this USB set-up work if the school is using iMacs but the teacher has a PC at home?? Keith Keith A. McKain Educational Consultant GeoScience Education...
Without actually trying it I think that I remember that the file can be transfered from Windows to Mac, but not back to Windows. So I don't think that is an...
I have a teacher who is entering in letter grades for assignments instead of points. The outcome is that the final grade is not computing correctly for Q1....
I didn't know we could ever enter letter grades per assignment and am not sure how it would work since it can't compute a percentage from a letter grade. Julie...
For each letter grade there is a cutoff and a value. The value is what the PowerGrade uses to compute that letter grade. This can be set in the gradescale...
The grading scale determines what value the letter grade is translated to. I would check that to make sure the grading scale has been setup appropriately to...
Any wise advice on best practices for handling extra credit? So far I've told teachers: 1 - Just add extra points to any assignment. 2 - Create an Extra Credit...
No other ideas here. I simply have them create an assignment and use that assignment to adjust the child's grade accordingly and exempt all other students...
What point value to you assign to the assignment? Giving a student an extra 5 out of 5 isn't going to impact their grade as much as a 5 out of 0 or a 5 out of...
Thanks to all of you who've responded to my questions. As first year users of this product, this has been an very valuable resource to us, and you're answers...
I just did a quick check and an exempted grade doesn't have a letter grade associated with it...the "%" and "Grd" columns are blank. We're using version 4.2.0....
An F should only show if the score preferences are set to "count unrecored scores as zero" (Perferences>Scores tab) and at least one score for the assignment...
Ok... now I'm not so sure... I will do some testing on my test server and see what it looks like from the parent side. Roger Sprik Technology Coordinator ...
I stand/sit/kneel corrected :-( IF the EC assignment has a point value of 0, then it won't show an F no matter if unrecorded or recorded. If the EC assignment...
... Yes... If you have not updated to 4.6.2....don't! I am an ITS and this is driving me crazy at this point of the grading cycle. We have sent in tech...
We have experienced the same situation with the weighted assignments and for now are using the same work around. Teachers that have used the weighted...
This is only our 2nd year with powerschool so it still quite new. Last year, if I put a score in for a student and then wanted to take it out, I could just put...
There are several reports (the non-PDF ones) that print nicely on the screen with every other line shaded... but when printed out of Explorer on WindowsXP the...
This is listed as a known issue with PG 4.6.2 in the support site. And yes it is a problem for all of us. Analisa Fejedelem LCMS - Michigan District PS v4.2 ...
Hi, Roger - I don't have access to those reports in my school's implementation of PowerSchool, but I have a guess about the problem based on experience as a ...
We are evaluating SIS replacements for Pearson's SASI/XP and would like to speak with other schools over 15,000 users that have implemented these products. We...
Thanks for the tip... I figured out that IE can do it also, just not by default ... there's a checkbox in the advanced settings. I kept looking for the option...
Less than 1,500 students, but just switched from SASIxp. If you're interested please contact me. Roger Sprik Technology Coordinator Valley Christian Schools ...
A math teacher in my district has a very precise way of grading. She is reluctant to use PowerGrade because it would force a numerical grade for every...
