1.2. Recalculate Final Scores

Recalculate Final Scores

Recalculate Final Scores is a special function that allows grades to be recalculated when certain unusual activities happen mid-year. This function allows grades to be recalculated when administrators change certain data in the SIS that impacts final grade calculations. For example, any changes made to a grade scale for a section, such as the actual assigned grade scale or a modification to one or more grades within a grade scale will not be reflected in PowerTeacher gradebook until you recalculate final scores.

When recalculating final scores, final scores are recalculated for all students, both active and dropped. Recalculating final scores for dropped students is critical when a student has changed enrollment, but you have not yet received or scored all assignments. After you have, you can recalculate final scores and then distribute the updated information to the student's new teacher via email or another method.

How to Recalculate Final Scores

1. Select a class from the Classes pane.
   
   
2. Click the Scoresheet tab, then click Final Grades mode. The Scoresheet Final Grades window appears.
   
   
3. From the gradebook menu bar, choose Tools > Recalculate Final Scores. The Scoresheet window refreshes, showing the recalculated final scores. If you are using standards in the gradebook, a dialog appears, with the following two options:Overall Class Final Grades and Standard Final Grades
   
   
4. If you have updated score code values, select the Update Teacher Score Codes checkbox. This allows all pre-existing score codes to get the new values you have set. For more information, see Set Score Code Preferences.
