Description
This option is only needed by some schools in New York. If you have
one column which has been designated as a FINAL column worth
credit, and if you have another column that has a three character
name of “REG” or “RGT”, and if this option is set to “Yes”, then the
program will use the higher grade between the FINAL column and
the “REG” column when it prints the earned credits.
When honor rolls are printed using the Statistical Reports program,
the program writes to the hard disk each student's name and the
number of the honor roll they were on. (Either a 1, 2 or 3.) If you then
set this specification to “Yes”, any student who is on an honor roll will
have that honor roll's name printed in the lower right-hand corner of
their report card. The name of the honor roll may be changed by
using the DEFINE HONOR ROLL option in the Statistical Reports
program.See “Defining Honor Roll Reports” on page 8-15.
For example, if a student is on an honor roll called “High Honors”, the
following would print on his report card:
HONOR ROLL STATUS:
High Honors: If a student is not on any honor roll, nothing will be
printed. (The words “HONOR ROLL STATUS” will not even show on
the report card.)
If you use this option, it is imperative that you press F9: PRINT after
generating your honor rolls with the Statistical Reports program
BEFORE printing your report cards. Otherwise, you will have the
honor roll status from the previous marking period printed on your
report cards for this marking period. The Statistical Reports program
does have an option to clear the honor roll status from all previous
marking periods as it calculates another honor roll. For further
information, see “3) INCLUDE STUDENTS ALREADY ON ANY
HONOR ROLL” on page 8-16.

AVERAGES
This specification allows column averages to be printed at the bottom
of each report card column that has at least one grade. Columns
designated as “ABSENT” or “OTHER” columns will not have
averages printed.
