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

the end of the trimester approaches, your teachers will need to go
through the Report Card input process. After the import process, you

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
