Description
Your reports may include only active students, only inactive students
or both active and inactive students. Inactive students are students
who have withdrawn from your school.
When you search for students in a certain (Data Base) category, you
must decide whether or not to include students who do not have an
entry in that category. Answer “Yes” if you want to include them;
otherwise, answer “No”. If this specification is set to “Yes” and you
are sorting by sex, then a separate report will be printed for those
students who have not yet had their sex entered into their data base
records. See the Data Base Plus manual for an explanation of the
Search/Sort options in Administrator’s Plus.
These specifications define which grade levels will be used if you
select the ALL GRADES option. See page “Print Menus” on page 7-
27. For example, if you are a K - 12 school and want to print report
cards for only grades 9 - 12, set these specifications to grade 9 and
grade 12, respectively. Since the Start Grade must be earlier than the
End Grade, it may be necessary to set the End Grade before you set
the Start Grade.
Choose from the following:
DO NOT PRINT CREDITS: There will not be a credit column on the
report card displaying the current earned credits for each course.
Also, career credits earned to date will not be printed at the bottom
of the report card.
PRINT CREDIT COLUMN AND BOTTOM TOTALS: There will be a
credit column on the report card displaying the current earned credits
for each course. Credits will be earned by having a passing grade in
any column(s) that have been designated as CREDIT columns when
you customized your report card columns using the Customize RC
program.See “Customize Report Card Columns” on page 1-5. If you
have one credit column, all courses will be given full credit for a
passing grade in that column. If you have more than one credit
column, full year courses will earn a portion of their credit for a
passing grade in each of the credit columns. In other words, if you
have two semester grade columns that are each credit columns, a full
year course would earn half credit for a passing grade in each
column. Also, career credits earned to date will be printed at the
bottom of the report card as in the following sample report card:
