EOY course completion is required for grades 9-12. For 7th and 8th grades, self-contained courses are not required to be reported. Should you choose to submit 7th and 8th-grade data, transcripts will be required, otherwise the EOY Files will generate Zero Records. Please see the following information from the CALPADS FAQs:
