3. Quarter Grading – Infinite Campus

a. Navigating “Grading By Task”

STEP 1 – Choose your class

Using the dropdown box.

STEP 2 – Expand the “Instruction”

module by clicking on the word or the

“+” sign (which becomes a “-“ sign

when expanded).

STEP 3 – Select “Grading By Task”

by clicking on the words

STEP 4 – Use the drop down menu to select “Q1 – Quarter Grade”

31

After STEP 4, a new field will show where you may now enter information about each student in the class.

IMPORTANT – The remaining pages walk through steps to enter grades. Entering numeric grades is SLIGHTLY different than entering other non-numeric grade types. MOST teachers will need to enter numeric grades, however, there will be times when SOME teachers will enter non-numeric grades (pass/fail, for example).

Any other non-numeric grades must be approved by the Supervisor and Hall Principal.

b. Entering Numeric Grades (picture below corresponds with the following steps)

STEP 1 – Type in the grade the student earned in the “percent” field.

STEP 2 – Use the dropdown menu in the “Score” column to enter the SAME

NUMBER you typed in the “percent” field. This seems repetitive, but is

necessary for the computer to correctly calculate final marks in courses.

STEP 3 – Use the dropdown box to enter a “citizenship” comment.

STEP 4 – Use the dropdown box to enter an “effort” comment.

Make sure all other fields remain blank. ONLY those fields indicated

above should have information in them. Therefore NONE of the “comments

fields should have information in them and the boxes immediately to the right

of the “effort” and “citizenship” fields should remain empty just like the

picture below.

STEP 5 – Use the “Save” button to save your work. You do not need to save after each

student, however it is always a good idea to save frequently. If you do not

save before moving to another class, you may lose your work.

Please note the blank fields. They MUST remain blank.

c. Entering Non-Numeric Grades

Entering Non-numeric grades is almost identical to above with the exception that the “percent” column should NEVER have information in it. Please follow the steps below. The picture below these steps shows which fields should contain information.

STEP 1 – Use the dropdown box under the “score” column to find the non-

numeric grade. PLEASE NOTE that all non-numeric grades are at the bottom

of the dropdown list.

STEP 2 – Use the dropdown box to enter a “citizenship” comment.

STEP 3 – Use the dropdown box to enter an “effort” comment.

STEP 4 – Use the “Save” button to save your work. You do not need to save

after each student, however it is always a good idea to save frequently. If you

do not save before moving to another class, you may lose your work.

Please note that none of the “percent” column boxes or “comments” boxes have information in them.

Verifications – Please be sure to verify your grades. For specific instructions regarding the verification process, please refer to document “V. Grade Verification Process”

Should questions arise, please feel free to contact an Infinite Campus coach (Keith Bogert, Gary Cimorelli, Jean Fanniff, Aimee Gauthier, Jude Hanley, Lynn Marie Marohn, Carm McCarthy, Heidi Meidenbauer, and Bob Pollaro) or your Hall Principal.
