Entry Forms
Scanner Grade Entry Forms
Specification
Description
These options allow you to print Scanner Grade Entry forms for
individual teachers or sections or for a range of teachers, as well as for
all sections. If you choose Option 1) All Sections, Scanner Grade Entry
Forms will be printed for the course range set in specification #1:
INCLUDE SECTIONS MEETING WHEN (See the previous page.)
When you select a range of teachers, the program prompts you to enter
the starting teacher’s ID and then it prompts you for the ending
teacher’s ID. If you select Individual teachers or sections, you will be
able to type the teacher ID #’s or course/section #’s or choose them
from the F6: LOOKUP.
This feature also enables you to avoid printing forms for lunch sections,
and so on. Simply enter as the teacher of lunch a “fake” teacher who
has ID #1 and tell the program to print entry forms starting with teacher
#2. (This “fake” teacher could also be at the end of your file of
teachers.)
Note that each form only contains room for up to eight students.
Consequently, a section with 26 students would require 4 forms. In this
example, the first form for this section would say “1 OF 4” and the
second form would say “2 OF 4", and so on. The order in which the
forms are later scanned does not matter.
NOTE: Be aware that when the forms are printed, the program keeps
track of the names of the students on each form. This information is
stored in a file called “RCSCAN.FRC”. When the form is later scanned,
the page number information is used to match up the form with the
name of the section, as well as with which students are in that section.
If a student is added to or dropped from a section after its form has
been printed, the printed form will still be successfully scanned
because the “RCSCAN.FRC” file is not affected by adding or dropping
students. The “RCSCAN.FRC” file will not change until a new scanner
form is printed for a section.
