Copy Grades to Grade History (GRH)
Overview
After all the grades have been submitted by teachers, there are two final steps to be taken, depending on the term that the grades fall into. One step is to Copy Grades to Grade History. The other is to copy grades to the Transcripts.
Copy Grades to Grade History (GRH) ↑
Navigate to Grade Reporting > Functions > Copy Grades to GRH or Grade Reporting > Grade Reporting Process Dashboard > D. Finalize > 3. Copy Grades to Grade History (GRH).
After grades are complete, the Copy Grades to Grade History (GRH) will copy grades from the GRD table to the Grade History (GRH) table and will store all grade history such as citizenship, comments, absences, tardies, etc.
It is important that this process be run at the end of each grading cycle prior to initializing a new Grade cycle.
This function can also be done from the Initialize New Grade Reporting Cycle form as part of the creation process. See Initialize New Grade Reporting Cycle for more information.
Click on the Select Which Mark to Move to GRH drop down and a menu will display the available marks to move. Click on the Copy Grades to Grade History (GRH) button and the grades will be copied to the GRH table.
Once this process has been run, a confirmation email will be sent to the user.
This information can be displayed by clicking the Grade History form under Grade Reporting or under Student Data > Grades > Grade History.
Copy Grades to Transcripts ↑
Navigate to Grade Reporting > Functions > Copy Grades to Transcripts or Grade Reporting > Grade Reporting Process Dashboard > F. Transcripts > Copy Grades to Transcripts.
After semester grades are complete, the Copy Grades to Transcripts will copy grades from the Grades (GRD) table to the students’ Course History (HIS) table. The process will also update the Credits Attempted/Credits Completed fields for the students. The Course History (HIS) table records will print on a student’s transcript.
Click on the Copy Grades to Transcripts link. The following selection will display.
The correct term and year must be entered for the current marks to be stored in course history. Semester is usually denoted as 1 for fall, 2 for spring and 3 for summer. To move quarter classes as well as semester and year classes click on the button to Move all applicable classes to Transcripts. NOTE - This is the typical option.
To move only quarter classes click on Move ONLY quarter classes to Transcripts. NOTE - Do this ONLY at mid-semester. Grades for courses tagged with a 'Q' in the Course table will move to Transcripts. This option should only be done at the end of a quarter. Quarter classes are considered to be course records having a “Q” in the CRS.TM (Term) field.
If the school is set up as a track school, enter a track number in the Enter Track field or leave this blank to indicate all tracks. To move all but one track each track must be moved separately.
To move marks to history for one particular grade level, select the grade level from the Student Grade dropdown. If Multiple Marks are maintained, choose the mark to be moved.
To automatically update the Pass/Fail credit status check the Update Pass/Fail Credit Status Automatically box. It is important to check this box when using Attendance Based Grade Reporting. Please see the Transcript Pass/Fail Credit Status article for more information.
If the School Taken should be populated with the Student's Reporting Home School instead of the LOC school, check the School Taken with Home School box.
If the School Taken should be populated with the Student's Campus of Accountability instead of the LOC school, check the Populate School Taken with Campus of Accountability box.
If the Overwrite if HIS records exist? is checked, the process will replace valid marks and credits from Grades (GRD) to any existing transcript records (HIS) which match on the same student, course, term, and "sequence" number link (see below for more information). This option should be selected if mass changes were made to GRD records and the copying grades to transcripts function needs to be repeated. This option will prevent the creation of duplicate transcript records.
If the Overwrite if HIS records exist? checkbox is not checked, any existing HIS records will be skipped, even if the corresponding GRD record has been changed. This option will only insert grade records which exist in GRD into HIS if there is no existing record in HIS matching on the student, course, term, and "sequence" number link.
The "sequence" number link is used to prevent duplicate HIS records. In the SQL tables, when GRD records are copied to HIS, a sequence value from the HIS record is stored in the corresponding GRD record. The GRD.S1 - S12 field (corresponding to the mark recorded in one of the GRD M1-M12 fields) will contain the sequence number (HIS.SQ) for the HIS record that the GRD record was copied into. If grades are copied to HIS again, a new HIS record for the course/term will not be created if one already exists. Instead, the process will overwrite the record containing the same sequence value. For future terms, this feature should allow users to copy grades and credits from GRD to HIS without creating duplicate HIS records.
Note: The process will not be able to identify a link between HIS and GRD records created prior to the addition of this new feature. Additionally, Transcript records entered for a different district/school or manually entered will not be touched with either option. Also, if GRD and or HIS records are deleted, the GRD-HIS sequence number "link" will also be deleted.
Click on the Copy Grades to Transcripts (HIS) button. Select YES to run this process or click NO to cancel the process. The user will receive an email when the process has completed.
The Student Transcript form will now display the current grades.
