Marking Period Grades, Honor Rolls and Collections to Display in the Parents Module

The Parent Access>Setup>Settings>School Settings>Grading Settings screen controls the display of "Grade Collections", the grades the student has earned in a collection and Honor Rolls.

There are two sections of the screen. The upper section is titled "Grades and Collections to Display in the Parents Module".

This controls which grade collections, grades and Honor Rolls to display. The lower section is called "Display Settings per School".

This controls some of the specifics of the screen format in the Parent / Student module, as well as whether or not a "Grade History" or pseudo-transcript screen is displayed.

A screen sample is shown below:

Displaying Grade Collections, Grades and Honor Rolls

The "Grades and Collections to Display in the Parents Module" section of the Parent Access>Setup>Settings>School Settings>Grading Settings screen allows you to configure which Grade Collections and grades are shown in the Parent Module 'Grading' tab.

Every "Grade Collection" defined on the Grading>Setup>Collections screen is listed on the upper portion of the Parent Access>Setup>Settings>School Settings>Grading Settings screen:

Note: In order to display course grades, 'Show Schedule' must be set to Yes for that school. See Scheduling Settings via Parent Access>Setup>Settings>School Settings>Scheduling.

Checking the "Collection" check box causes show the collection itself to appear in the Parent / Student Module on the "Student Data>Grading" screen.
Entering info into the "Display Grade On" field causes the grade for the collection to appear in the box on the Parent / Student Module on the "Student Data>Grading" screen.
Checking the "Honor Roll" checkbox causes a Star icon to appear in the collection's header on the Parent / Student Module on the "Student Data>Grading" screen if the student has made an Honor Roll.

It is important to note that a course's FG will not appear until all of the marking periods that a course meets are marked to have their grades displayed in Parents Module.
