Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Get My Grades to Show Correctly in Grade Book?
This document explains the difference between Grade Book Score Type and Report Card Score Type and gives step-by-step directions on setting the Report Card Score Type for your classes.
What are the checkboxes at the bottom of a new assignment?
In the elementary grade book, in order for grades on an assignment to count toward an overall subject grade, Report Card Correlations must be selected when creating the assignment. If a correlation is not selected, the assignment and grades will appear in the Grade Book but will not count toward the report card grade. Click here for information on setting report card correlations.
How do I preview the elementary report card?
Log into TeacherVUE. From the Report Card menu, at the top of the screen select Students. Below the search window at the upper right, select View Report Cards. Click View next to one of the Students' names to download a pdf of the report card. (Note that the selected student's name will be on the report card and should be whited out if using as a demo for others). Alternately you could instead click Generate Blank Report Cards (below the search window) to generate a blank report card for all students in your class.
