Use the Grade Sheet to enter and save quarterly, term, or other configured grade items directly for a class.
The standalone Grade Sheet is useful when your school needs to record the grades used for progress reports, report cards, or other
academic records without encoding the underlying activities and learner scores in the Grade Book.
Also check our video tutorial on submitting student grades using the Grade Sheet.
Use the standalone Grade Sheet when your school needs to record a completed grade directly at the class level.
For example, if your school starts using Grado after Term 1 has already ended, you can enter the existing Term 1 grades directly in the Grade Sheet. The class can then use the Grade Book for succeeding terms.
This allows the school to retain previously completed grades without recreating the activities and scores used to calculate them.
You can also use the Grade Sheet as the regular grade-entry workflow when your school records only quarterly or term grades in Grado.
Make sure that:
You are signed in to the Faculty Portal.
You are the assigned teacher for the class.
You have the correct class, academic year, and grading period.
The learner roster is complete and correct.
You know the approved grades that need to be entered.
The class has the correct Transmutation Table and grading configuration.
Important: The type of grade you enter depends on the Transmutation Table assigned to the class.
From the Faculty Portal, go to Your Classes.
Select the class you want to grade.
Confirm the subject, academic year, term, and learner roster.
Click Open Grade Sheet.
The Grade Sheet displays the learners in the class and the grade items or grading-period columns configured for that class.
Review the Grade Sheet before entering grades.
Each grade-item column represents a grading period or grade item configured for the class. Depending on the school's setup, these may represent quarterly grades, term grades, or other grading cycles.
Make sure you enter the grade under the correct column for the applicable grading period.
Important: Confirm the grading period before entering or changing grades. A grade entered under the wrong grade item can affect the learner's calculated final grade and academic records.
Enter the permitted grade for each learner under the applicable grade-item column.
The type of value you enter depends on the class's assigned Transmutation Table:
If the configuration uses raw values, enter the learner's raw grade. Grado applies the assigned transmutation when determining the grade displayed in applicable reports.
If the configuration uses transmuted values, enter the transmuted or final grade directly.
Many schools use transmuted values and enter the final grade for the grading period directly.
Follow your school's grading policy and use the grade-entry field displayed for the class.
Depending on the class configuration, Grado may calculate the learner's Final Grade automatically from the entered grade items.
When automatic final-grade computation is enabled, the calculated Final Grade cannot be edited directly.
Review the grade-item entries and calculated results before saving.
Review the entered grades for all applicable learners.
Click Save Inputed Grades.
Wait for the save confirmation before leaving the page.
Note: Save Inputed Grades is the current UI label. The spelling shown here matches the application.
After saving, the Grade Sheet reflects the saved grade state according to your school's grade-submission and approval configuration.
If grade approval is enabled, submitted grades may require approval before they become final.
If your school starts using Grado after one or more grading periods have already been completed, you do not need to reconstruct those periods in the Grade Book.
For example:
Open the class Grade Sheet.
Enter the approved Term 1 grade for each learner in the applicable grade-item column.
Click Save Inputed Grades.
Use the Grade Book for Term 2 and succeeding grading periods, if applicable.
This creates a mixed workflow in which earlier completed grades are entered directly in the Grade Sheet while succeeding grades can be generated from detailed Grade Book scores.
After the grades are saved:
the entered grades are recorded for the selected class and grade item;
automatically calculated final grades are updated according to the class configuration; and
the saved grades are available to the applicable Grado grading and reporting workflows, subject to your school's approval and reporting rules.
If a saved grade later needs correction, use Change Grade Request when the action is available.
