Post Comments for Individual Students

Grade Posting is the process that copies the Grades calculated in the Gradebook to the

Grade Bucket where the office can run reports (including Report Cards) of them. When

getting ready for Grade Posting, come into the Gradebook to review the grades, anything in

the blue columns will post as long as the Grade Bucket is tied to an open Grading Period.

You can enter grade adjustments and grade mark overrides prior to posting the grades. You

will find information related to the grade adjustments and grade mark overrides within the

Grade Adjustment/Grade Mark Overrides guide.

Posting Grades Auto Posting

Manual Grade Posting

Posting Athletic Grades

Grade Posting is the process by which grades move from the Secondary Gradebook to the

Office Grading. There are two methods of the Posting Grades: Auto Posting and Manual

Grade Posting. The method of Posting Grades is determined by district Gradebook

configuration.

Auto Posting Auto Posting allows grades to automatically post from your Gradebook to the office

depending on a range of dates (the Posting Window). The ability for auto posting of grades

will depend on the Gradebook setup at a district level. When auto posting is enabled, you

will need to verify the grades in the blue term/semester/final grade columns for the grading

period being posted; no additional steps are required.

Click the Posting tab in the Gradebook. When auto posting is turned on three boxes will

show: Post Athletic (if an Athletic Grade Bucket is being used), Post Dropped Students

Grades and Post Comments.

Post Athletic

Post Athletic grades will be discussed in a later section of this guide.

Post Dropped Students Grades

Grades are not automatically posted for dropped students. If you need to post a grade for

dropped students, you will need to use the Post Dropped Students Grades option.

Click on Post Dropped Students Grades under the Posting tab.

You can then find the correct term and select Post Grades. You can also view class

information for past and upcoming grading periods.

This is the Dropped Student Posting screen. You have to enter the students’ grades and

comments and then click the Save button to save the information.

Manual Grade Posting Manual Grade Posting allows you to determine when grades are posted to the office. Any

changes made in the Gradebook will need to be re-posted. You can post grades as many

times as needed as long as the Posting Window is open.

showing in red and bold are updated information that has not previously been posted.

Green Grades and Comments are ones that have already been posted. The first time you

post for a Grading Period, all should show as red.

Within the Grade Entry (Posting) screen, you can also View Grade Marks, View

Comment Codes, Show Dropped Students and Alert Legend. You can find more

information regarding these options in the prior section of this guide.
