Updating and Resetting GPAs & Credits
NOTE:
NOTE:
NOTE:
This option is almost never used unless for some reason you wish to update a student
again for the current year without first un-updating him. Although you can perform this
function for all students in a grade level, it is very unlikely that you would need to do it
for more than one student at a time.
After this option has been run, you will no longer be able to automatically un-update
students or print their last update reports. You may still manually un-update students by
using the View/Change/Add/Drop program to enter their OLD credits, quality points and
weight.
Reset Credits, GPAs, Last Update Data To Zero
Whereas the last option described resets only the four LAST UPDATE figures to zeroes,
this option resets ALL eight figures to zeroes. As with Option #4, this option should
almost NEVER be used except in situations such as the following: Assume that a school
with grades 7 - 12 maintains credits and GPAs for students starting in grade 7. However,
once students reach grade 9, they wish to start over. Each year, this school will use this
option to reset the credits, adjusted quality points, simple quality points and weight for
only their grade 9 students back to zeroes.
Whenever you update based on a year other than the current year, Report Cards Plus
automatically resets the values to zero before it recalculates. You therefore do NOT need to
use this option for this purpose.
If you do use this option, it will most likely be for one grade level or for an individual
student.
Remember to backup the school year BEFORE doing any of the un-update procedures
described above!
