Introduction & Main Menu
The Customize RC program allows you to customize most of the universal settings in
Report Cards Plus. You will use this program to set the value of each grade a student can
receive for a course, select how you wish to apply the GPA factor, define your report
card columns and pre-define and enter comments. You can also use it to set up the table
that allows you to translate number grades into letter grades for printing report cards,
and to enter department names. In addition, schools that have purchased the skills-based
report card module will use this program to create customized lists of skills and
concepts. Finally, you can set the number of available courses up to 9,999.
Select an option, and then click Next to display each option, described in the following
sections.
Edit Grade Table
This option allows you to view and edit the grade table, which stores the quality point
values for each grade a student may receive. (Note that you must be logged in as
Supervisor to view or edit the Grade Table.) In addition, you can use the grade table to
specify whether or not the grade is worth credit and if it should be considered in
calculations of students’ averages. In the grade table, you will enter a symbol for each
grade you wish to print on students’ report cards. You can have up to 200 grade symbols
in your grade table, including 50 customized grades. Symbols can be any numerical
grade of up to 3 digits or any letter grade up to 3 characters, including plus (+) and minus
(-) grades, or customized symbols such as “”, “+” and “-”.
NOTE:
Note that although it is possible to change a customized grade in the grade table, you should
not change a grade or its quality points if you need to print the original grade on students’
transcripts.
