Time to Print Report Cards - Part I

The first marking period ends on November 7th. When do you print report cards? Printing of report cards is done in the OFFICE, not by the individual teachers. There is no typing involved - all information comes from PowerSchool. The paper that is required is simply regular 8 1/2 x 11 paper - no special color or type required. I know that the previously printed report card was larger than that size but it is not required anymore.

The first step, for those new to this system is to make sure your teachers have the grades in their quarter final grade correct. This must be done by having the teachers verify or let you know the grades are correct ann all comments and checks and pluses are done. Information for the teachers regarding this step is on the teacher blog - please have them refer to it. Once all the teachers have verified the grades are correct the PowerSchool person in your school MUST call me to store the grades. IF THIS PROCEDURE IS NOT DONE GRADES WILL NOT APPEAR ON THE REPORT CARD.

The above step must be done two days prior to the printing day. Printing should not take place more than 2 days before the report cards are to be sent home. Once I store the grades, which is called historically saving grades we are ready to print. That will be in the next post. Please e-mail me with the dates you think you will be saving grades and I will add it to my calendar.
