Jan 2021 For Teachers.

The process for Semester End - reporting and report cards is is similar to January of last year.  For easy reference, below are some related documents as shared with your MSS LEAD Teachers/Admin in support of the Semester End process. Some schools and/or courses do not currently end in Semester 1.  Also, our DLC follows a slightly different process for which documentation has been sent directly. Please work with your school based MSS Leads and have them reach out if any support is needed. We continue to learn together.  Thanks everyone.

We will provide you with further end of semester information as we learn more.  Thank you for your perseverance and positive attitudes as we work through this process together.  

Report Card Documentation as of November 2019 has been preserved below and will provide easy access to links listed in the GRADEBOOK Teacher Tips for Semester 1 and Family Portal Jan 10 2020 document:  

Below is information and a number of files to support preparation needed for this first ever MSS reporting period.

Please note:  When entering FASA Marks, enter FASA marks in the LL1, SS1, EC1 and WH1 columns.    If the marks are entered in the LL Score, SS Score, EC Score and WH Score column, they will not pull correctly onto the Report Card.  When marks are entered in the LL1, SS1, EC1 and WH1 column, the letter C and a zero will appear in the Score column for that FASA column. At this time please disregard that score. It is a known issue with MSS and is being looked at.

The Gradebook Teacher Tips document will help with Gradebook settings during this first reporting period as it provides a checklist of tips for teachers in areas such as Grade Scale choices, Visibility Type, Special Codes, Footnotes, NA/IE/IG, etc.  

Download: GRADEBOOK_Teacher_Tips_for_Reporting_First_Reporting_Period.pdf

Note:  Grades 1-9 teachers report on outcomes.  At this point in time, when running report cards, our 1-4 rating scale is displaying alpha (EX, ME, etc.).  There is a fix in the works at a higher level.  For now, it looks like our Report Cards will pull Alpha rather than Numeric.  The Achievement Scale does explain info, however, so it should be OK for this first reporting period.
