Entry Forms
Filling Out Scanner Grade Entry Forms
Separate forms are used depending upon whether you are using alpha or numeric grades.
If you are using alpha grades for your lower grade levels and numeric grades for your
higher grade levels, the forms may be scanned together. The program will automatically
differentiate them. A sample of each type of form may be found in the appendix on
pages ix- x.
For each student, there are six categories (rectangles) on the form that may be marked:
• PERIOD GRADE
• EXAM GRADE
• FINAL GRADE
• OPTIONAL GRADE
• COMMENT ONE
• COMMENT TWO
Before scanning a batch of forms, you will be able to designate into which report card
column(s) these grades should be placed.
PERIOD GRADE:
This will generally be the grade for the marking period printed at the top of the form.
When the forms are scanned, you will be able to tell the program into which designated
marking period column(s) this grade should be placed. It must be a PERIOD column.
The program may also be instructed to simultaneously enter this grade as the semester
or final grade for the course.
EXAM GRADE:
When the forms are scanned, you will be able to tell the program into which designated
exam column(s) this grade should be placed.
FINAL GRADE:
When the forms are scanned, this grade may be entered into any report card column that
has been designated as a SEMESTER or FINAL grade.
COMMENT ONE & COMMENT TWO:
When the forms are scanned, these grades may be entered into either of the two
COMMENT columns or into an ABSENCE column.
OPTIONAL GRADE:
This grade may be placed in any column. Note that if you are using letter grades, this
grade may not be placed in a comment or absence column.
