If this column displays, your building administrator has allowed you to override the earned credit. Typically, it is not necessary to enter earned credit in Teacher Access Center. The eSchoolPLUS System includes an Assign Credit option that calculates earned credit based on the marks you issue students. In some districts, teachers need to enter prorated credit for courses for which the district policy is to assign credit based on student effort.
You do not need to enter credit for a student unless you know that you need to override the credit that will be calculated.
Note: Your building administrator runs the Assign Credit calculation in eSchoolPLUS after marks have been entered for a marking period that your building issues credit on. Thus, this value may not reflect the credit that the student would earn upon completion of the marking period you are currently processing. For example, if your building assigns credit on the Final mark that is issued at the end of the year, the Credit value will be 0.0000 until you enter the final mark and the building administrator runs the Assign Credit calculation.
Grade that the student is earning in the course for the mark type. The names and number of mark columns which display are determined by your building's setup.
Enter grades by typing the desired grade or
clicking on the down arrow to select the grade from a list of valid grades. You can also click to display mass update options.
To load marks calculated based on Gradebook assignment averages, click Load from Gradebook . When you load from Gradebook, any marks that have been entered will be overwritten unless the Override box is checked. If you need to change a student's mark, you should change the student's average for the mark type in Gradebook and then load from Gradebook again. Note that your building's configuration determines whether you can override averages in Gradebook.
An override box displays next to each mark field. Enter a check in this box if no system calculations (including the Load from Gradebook option) should overwrite the mark that you enter. When you change a student's mark, this box is automatically checked, and any system calculations are now prevented from changing the value you entered. If you uncheck this box, system calculations (including the Load from Gradebook option) can overwrite the mark.
You can also enter a comment to explain an override by clicking . The Mark Override Reason pop-up window displays.
If you remove the check from an Override box for which a mark override reason has been entered, a pop-up window will display for you to confirm that you want to continue because the mark override reason will be deleted. If you continue, the override reason will be deleted when you save on the Report Cards page.
