Grading Setup Guide. For information about the field Withdrawn student/dropped class import grades cutoff:_days, see "Specifying Grades to be Imported from PowerTeacher" in the PowerTeacher 2.2.2+ Installation & Setup Guide for Chancery SMS.Setting up a school involves the School Administrator defining standard comments, grading tables and grading periods, and grade items and courses for secondary schools. A standard comment is a re-usable comment that teachers can add to students' progress reports and report cards. A grading table [>>] defines the format and meaning of the grades that students receive on their report cards. A grading period specifies the date range covered by a report card or progress report, and thus is significant to their timing. Typical grading periods are 6-week periods, trimesters, and quarters. Secondary schools use grade items to describe the way a school measures student performance; for example, "Semester Grade", "Semester 1 Exam", "Conduct", and "Effort".
