Report Card Reminders

Since Trimester 2 Report Cards just went out, we wanted to give leaders an insight into the most common errors we see staff making, as well at the tickets that are submitted.  We put information in the Educator Blog as well

-95% of the tickets are related to Due Date.  Due Dates matter! All assignments should have a due date that falls within the Trimester you want that grade to appear.  For elementary the final report card rubric should have the date that we give teachers.  For middle school, within Otus when assigning anything, but especially grading rubrics, include a due date that is within the grading window. If a due date is not added, the grade gets placed in the grading window that the teacher grades the assessment, not when it was assigned. Adding a due date is the best way to guarantee accuracy of assessments within grading windows.  For example, if you assigned a rubric in Trimester 2, but updated a grade on March 3rd, the system thinks that grade is now for Tri 3 since there is no due date.

-All sites should be giving a preview of the report card and sending it out in time for teachers to review before a final is created.  A lot of teachers never looked at their Preview so please remind them that they must view their preview before final report cards are sent out.
