Skills-Based Grading Periods

Skills-based grading periods are used to tie skills-based marking periods to grade reports. All marking periods that are tied to the skills-based grading period will be on the grade report.

Tip: For a tutorial on setting up grading at your school, see The Guide to Grading Setup.

  1. From the persona menu, select Academics.

  2. Select Grades and then select Grading Setup.

  3. Click Skills-Based grading periods.

  4. Under Select Filter Options, choose the School year, Group Type, and School Level from the filter options. Select View to update the page.

  5. Select Add next to the term.

  6. Enter a unique Description. This field is limited to 10 characters. The description will be a column header for grades on the grade report.

  7. Enter a unique Sort Order. A smaller Sort Order number will cause a skills-based grading period to appear higher in the sorting order.

  8. Click Save & Exit.

This process must be repeated for all skills-based grading periods.
