HIGH SCHOOL FINAL GRADE PROCEDURE


In this video tutorial, learn how to enter Exam and EOC grades, how to average the student’s final grade, and how to submit a final verification. This tutorial pertains to semester-long courses on the high school level.  Quarter classes (Econ., etc.) are a little different.

STEPS:

End-of-Semester Procedures
Pearson has four “buckets,” which are repositories for grades:
S1:  the semester grade bucket, where teachers enter the grades for classwork
E1: the final exam bucket
C1:  the End-of-Course bucket  (Only classes with EOCs need worry about this bucket, but it’ll be there in your grade book)
F1:  the Final Average bucket, calculated from the two (or three) grades above

DATES ARE CRUCIAL
S1: August 6-December 30
*C1: December 31-January 1
*E1: January 2-3 
*DO NOT ENTER THE DAYS YOU ACTUALLY ADMINISTER THE EXAMS OR EOCs AS THE DUE DATES
F1: August 6-January 3

How to enter Exam Grades:
Under the reporting term E1, create a new assignment (just as you’ve done for classwork under S1 all semester) by clicking on the + at the top of the grade column
Name: Final Exam 
Abbreviation: Final Exam
Category: Test (You may have made your own category)
Score Type: Points or Percentage or Letter Grade
Points Possible: 100
Extra Points: Optional
*MAKE SURE THE DUE DATE IS JANUARY 2 OR JANUARY 3
Leave all other options at their default value.
