November
typically involves completing the 1st quarter Report Cards and gearing
up for mid-quarter reports for 2nd quarter. Here are some FastDirect
functions that may need to be addressed:
- Closing input for 1st mid-quarter reports
- Opening up teacher input for 1st quarter Report Cards
- Closing 1st quarter Report Cards when teachers have finished importing grades
If
your school is printing report cards, keep in mind that you can allow
your parents to view them online. This option will save your school
time, money, and the environment. If a parent signature is needed to
verify that they have seen the report cards, then you can create a
WildCard field where parents can enter in their initials and the date
electronically, letting you know they have viewed the report card.
During
Report Card time, you may discover some changes that will need to be
made to the format, layout or to the courses themselves. Report Card
changes can take up to a week to process so make sure to plan
accordingly. ...Read more

As
the end of the trimester approaches, your teachers will need to go
through the Report Card input process. After the import process, you
can either print the Report Cards or permission them to be viewed by
parents online. Opening up teacher input for 1st Trimester Report Cards
will require:
- Changing input for 1st mid-trimester from 'Allow Input' to 'Input Complete'
- Changing input for 1st trimester Report Cards from 'Not Yet' to 'Allow Input'
- Having teachers go through the 1st trimester Report Card input process
- Closing the input process by changing 'allow input' to 'input complete'
