grade is configured to use letter grades from the report card, then the YTD grade will display as a<br />

point average and letter grade.<br />

The YTD calculation is set up in the report card after the system calculations have been defined.<br />

This calculation can be used whether Basic Calculations or Advanced Calculations are used in<br />

the report card, and whether the grades entered on the report cards are numeric averages or letter<br />

grades and will use either the grade book average or the report card grade in the calculation based<br />

on the system calculation. For example, as described in “Year to Date Calculation Scenarios,” if<br />

the final grade system calculation uses averages from the grade book, then the YTD calculation<br />

will also use averages from the grade book. If letter grades are used on the report card and in the<br />

Final grade calculation, then the YTD calculation will be based on the point value equivalent for<br />

each letter grade, and the average will display in terms of a point average.<br />

The following examples illustrate how the YTD grade would be calculated for various scenarios.<br />

The scenarios are demonstrating how the YTD grade is calculated if today’s date is in the midst<br />

the current average in the grade book for Q2 (92.43) is being used in the YTD<br />

calculation.<br />
