Submitting report card grades for the eSchoolPLUS gradebook user

This tutorial will guide the teacher who uses the eSchoolPLUS gradebook to record assignment grades through the process of entering report card grades. You enter your assignment grades directly into eSchoolPLUS.

1. Login to the eSchoolPLUS gradebook.

2. Look for the RC option next to the desired class. Click RC next to the class to enter report card grades. NOTE: A green check mark next to a class indicates that grades have already been entered for the most recent report card. You may modify report card grades at any time prior to your school's deadline.

3. The "Enter Report Cards" window allows for the entry of report card grades as well as comments. The window also provides:
-attendance information via the far-right hand column.
-space to enter three pre-written comments. Note that you cannot enter a free-form comment.
-a citizenship column may be visible depending on your site's policies.

You may have to select the desired grading period from the "RC Run" drop down menu at the top of the window.

4. Begin with the "RPT" column and enter a report card grade for the first student. You have three options:
-click the "Load from Gradebook" button at the top of the window OR
-enter an A-F, NC, CR, I or NM in the RPT column next to each student's name OR
-click on the arrow to view the letter grade options for each student (below).

NOTE: If you make any changes to assessment grades after clicking the "Load from gradebook" button you must click the button again. "Load from gradebook" takes a snapshot of grades and will not register any changes in course grades.

When you click the "Load from Gradebook" button the "RPT" column will fill with grades based on the assignment grades and calculation method that you have chosen. NOTE that you cannot enter a numeric (0-100) grade or any other grade for a student. You will received an error message if you have entered a grade other than A-F, CR, NC, I or NM.

5. You may manually enter a letter grade for an individual student to replace the grades imported from your gradebook. After you have manually entered a grade the "Ovr" checkbox will be checked. This is normal.

6. To enter a report card comment you may either:
-enter the code for an individual comment OR
-click on the down arrow next to each comment field to view a list of comment options.

7. You may enter one comment per column (C1, C2, C3). The report cards allow for up to three comments.

8. The example below shows a complete set of report card grades and comment codes.

NOTE that the two grades with green checkmarks in the "Ovr" box have been manually overwritten.

9. Once you have completed entering report card grades and desired comments YOU MUST click on the "Save" button located at the top and bottom of the "Enter Report Cards" window. Either "Save" button will save your grades.

10. You may click on the "My Classes" button to return to your class list. A green check mark indicates that you have successfully entered report card grades for an individual class.

Repeat steps two through nine to enter report card grades for other classes.

NOTE: If you make any changes to assessment grades after clicking the "Load from gradebook" button you must click the button again. "Load from gradebook" takes a snapshot of grades and will not register any changes in course grades.

11. The "Summary" button generates a printable, spreadhseet-style record of your grades listed by student. Click here to learn more about this report.
