Progress Report Instructions

 

There is now a way to transmit grades from GradeQuick to the program we use to print progress reports. You may use either the GradeQuick method or the manual entry method. I have given you directions for both methods here.

 

Manual Method

 

Log into Kresa the same way you do to take attendance.

 

Go to modules à teacher applications à progress reports

 

If an error message appears, click on the Ignore button.

 

For each student, enter his/her grade next to the name.

 

We have up to 20 comments available to us. (Those comments are at the bottom of this memo and are available in the help section of the website). You can also view the list by clicking on the comment button at the top of the progress report screen. Next to each student, put a Y under the comment number that you want for that student. If you want to make a comment of your own, put a Y under the U over on the right hand side. When you do this, you will be given a space to type a comment.

 

Once you are finished with a class, click on the Save button at the top.

 

To go to the next class, choose the down arrow to the right of the current class name and your whole list of classes should appear for you to choose from.

 

 

GradeQuick Method

 

1. In GradeQuick, open the class you are getting ready to upload.

    

Citizenship Grades and Comments

·        In GradeQuick to open up the columns needed for citizenship and comments, open a class. Choose view at the top, then choose student info.

·        In the right hand window find citizenship, c1 and c2. Click on each of these so they are blue, then click OK. You will then have the columns in your gradebook where you can enter this information. You can remove them later if you wish.

·        In the comment columns choose the comment number from the comment sheet attached.

 

2. Click on File, then down to the word Send.

3. Then choose which Quarter to send. It will always be either a 1 or a 2. Third 9-weeks is 1, 4th is 2.

4. The next box that opens up asks you for the file name for the class you want to send. The file name listed in the box should be fine. It should be the same as the class you have open.

5. If you are NOT going to send grades for all the students in your list, click on the Select Students to Export button. Otherwise press OK.

6. You may get messages that tell you that certain fields are empty. This is not a problem. It just means you didn’t give a comment.

7. Once you have sent this class, close it and follow the same procedure for other classes.

8. IMPORTANT**If you submit grades to the school system through GradeQuick, you MUST submit changes through GradeQuick also. During grading time, every time we upload grades, your last submission is resubmitted. That means if you sent a C for a particular student and then verbally told a secretary to change it to a B, the next time we upload grades, that student will be given the C again. So make sure your most recent submission is the one you want to count. This especially applies to senior grades. Sometimes GradeQuick changes a senior’s grade after it was submitted because you have added additional assignments for the other students. That revised senior grade will be submitted the next time you submit your grades. Be careful.
