Set Up Student Progress Definitions
If you track student progress, you can define reporting periods, marks and their meanings, as well as categories or subjects to use when assigning marks.
- On the File menu in your PDS program, click .
- On the Periods tab, enter the description you want to use for reporting periods, such as Quarter or Term. Then, enter the number of periods that occur in your reporting time frame.
- On the Marks tab, enter each mark you use to define student progress as well as its meaning. For example, a mark of "S" might mean Satisfactory and "U" means Unsatisfactory. Or you might use letter grades A through F to represent percentages or ranges, such as 90 - 100.
- On the Categories tab, enter each category or subject you use when assigning marks, such as Behavior or Faith Formation.
- Click Save/OK.
Once you define these, you can track progress for a student or for a group of students.
