Defining a grading table
You need to create a grading table for each way that your school captures grades. For example, in an elementary school subjects might be graded as a G (Good), S (Satisfactory), or N (Needs Improvement), while conduct or participation are graded using teacher comments. Secondary students might be graded using percentages, while GPAs use grade points on a 4.0 scale. In each of these scenarios, a different type of grading table is required [>>].
In addition, you can add special grades, such as "Incomplete" or "Exempt", to all grading table [>>].
