POWER SCHOOL ALERT
Elementary specials are graded on a unique scale. Rather than the traditional 1-100 scale, those courses have a 1, 2, 3, 4 scale which is not designed to calculate grades. Teachers can enter assignments and grades if we want to (and I do), but those won’t calculate a quarter average. Specialist teachers manually enter a final grade for each student using the 1-4 scale. If you have set up Power School alerts and I have entered grades for a specific assignment, it will notify you that your student has a 1. That is incorrect. You can log in to your account to see assignment grades. These grades will be averaged for the final quarterly grade. I hope this clears up any confusion! 😊 Mrs. Larrick
