6. Adding Scores After tasks have been created, student scores can be entered for each task. a. Edit Grid This method of entering scores is most useful when you are entering scores from a grade book, i.e., when the grades listing corresponds to the alphabetical class listing. In the Classes View, click the 6by Scores and choose Edit Grid. Each task will be listed in a separate column with the far right columns reflecting the students averages and corresponding letter grades. Click in the first students row below the column for the task for which you are entering scores. Type the desired score and press [Enter]. The cursor will move down one row to enable you to enter the next students score. Once you reach the bottom of a column, you can use the mouse or the arrow key on the keyboard to position the cursor at the top of the next column. Click [Done] at the top of the grid when finished.

NOTE: To record extra credit or bonus points, enter the value of a perfect score plus the bonus points (e.g. 103 for a student who achieved a perfect score of 100 plus 3 bonus points). If a student is exempt from an assignment, enter nc as the score for the assignment.

09/20/07

7 b. Edit Form This method of entering scores is most useful when you are entering scores from a pile of graded papers, or from a seating chart i.e., when the grade listing does not correspond to the alphabetical class listing. In the Classes View, click the 6by Scores and choose Edit Form. Select the Return to Student Name option in the Enter Action box . Select the desired task from the Task to Add Scores To drop down list. In the Student drop-down list, use the mouse to select the student from the list or TYPE THE FIRST LETTER OF THE LAST NAME for the student whose score you want to enter. (Press the letter multiple times to cycle through all students whose last names begin with that letter.) When the desired students name is displayed, press Tab twice to position the cursor in the score box and enter the students score, PRESS ENTER, and you will return to the student name box. TYPE THE FIRST LETTER of the next students last name, press Tab twice and enter the students score. Press Enter again to return to the student name box. Continue until all papers have been recorded and click [Done]. If a student is exempt from an assignment, enter nc as the score for the assignment. The Edit Form method is also used if you wish to change the defaulted grade for a task from what you specified in the Add Regular Task screen. For example, you entered a task ahead of time and set the value to nc for not counted and now that you are ready to record the scores, you notice that most students got a perfect score. In the Classes View, click the 6by Scores and choose Edit Form. Select the desired task from the Task to Add Scores To dropdown list, enter the value of a perfect score in and click [Set All Scores/Codes/Comments To]. Then select the student(s) who did not get a perfect score from the Student dropdown list and enter their score in score box . 7. Interim Reports Interims are currently entered using the Seton website. Refer to the Interim Entry Instructions on the Faculty/Staff page.

8 8. Report Cards c. Entering Report Card Comments Creating report cards is a two step process; entering comments and posting grades.
NOTE: You will not be able to see your scores grid in School Maestro at the same time as the Report Comments screen so you may want to indicate in your gradebook, or on a printed copy of your grades, which students are to receive which comments. Use the appropriate codes below to combine the comments that you need in the categories for Missing work, Unsatisfactory participation, or Unsatisfactory homework/quizzes/tests to ensure that all of your comments will print on the report card. Although School Maestro will allow you to enter up to ten comment strings, the report card printed by DBC will only print the first eight characters for all comment strings combined

Each Comment # represents the alphabetic comment string listed in the right hand column. There are Comment #s to represent all possible combinations of Missing work, Unsatisfactory participation, or Unsatisfactory tests/ quizzes. Please be sure to use only one code from the A, B, C, or E combinations as the total length of your comment string must not exceed 8 characters. For example, if a student has missed tests and quizzes, and has unsatisfactory grades on a major assignment and on homework, along with inconsistent effort/ performance and needs to seek extra help, you would enter codes 4, 19, 22, 23 and 38. The letters that would print on the student report card would be BtqEhFG+ which is 8 characters. You would not want to enter codes 5, 6, 19 22, 23, and 38 as this would represent BtBqEhFG+ which is 9 characters. Only the first 8 characters would print.
