Final Grade/Reporting Term Setup
Define final grades/reporting terms for use within the PowerSchool SIS Teacher portal and the grade storing process. Typically, one final grade/reporting term is sufficient for tracking summer school grades. However, if multiple summer school sessions exist or if additional grade tracking during summer school is required, add final grades/reporting terms as needed.
Remote Enrollment method: The same final grade/reporting term name must exist at the Summer School and home school, for the relative terms. In most cases this will equate to a "Y1" final grade/reporting term created for the full year term of both the summer school and home school.
