At the end of a semester, students may need to have a grade adjustment due to a variety of factors, including missing the final, missing enough class to earn an Incomplete, earning an F for not completing service hours or rounding up to acknowledge outstanding effort.
Override Grade
To override a grade, follow these directions:
- Log into PowerTeacher and access PowerTeacher Pro.
- Click the white bar at the top of your screen and access the correct class. (Click here if you need help accessing a past course.)
- Click on Grading: All Reporting Terms.
- Click on the S1 or S2 grade for the student in question. Then, in the pop-up window, click on the new letter grade. You can also change the percent score, but it's not necessary. Also, enter any comments that would explain the score change.
- Click Save.
Remove an Override
If an override needs to be removed due to completion of final or missing work, follow the directions below.
Note: Alternatively, you can enter a new override using the directions above to replace the previous grade.
- Log into PowerTeacher and access PowerTeacher Pro.
- Click the white bar at the top of your screen and access the correct class. (Click here if you need help accessing a past course.)
- If necessary, update grades for any assignments, including the final, for the student in question.
- Click on Grading: All Reporting Terms.
- Click on the S1 or S2 grade for the student. Then, in the pop-up window, click the circular arrow next to the letter and percent grade. This will remove the override and allow PowerSchool to calculate the grade.
Example: Although this grade shows an A, the calculated grade at the bottom of the image shows the student earned an F, 50%. By clicking the circular arrow, PowerSchool will recalculate the grade and insert what the student earned, not what was manually entered. Any manually entered grade has a small grey hashmark in the upper left corner. - Click Save.
