Each school is responsible for updating the Current Grade Display settings at the beginning of each term. These settings are used for the Quick Lookup page and for the Parent Portal.

Adding the Y1 grade prematurely might cause some parents see this as the final grade and can cause confusion. The grades are calculated throughout the entire year.

To Update the Current Grade Display:

1. Click School under Setup.
2. Scroll down to the Grading section and click on Current Grade Display.

Define the Values on the Quick Lookup Tab:

1. Under Store Code, enter the desired TermID such as Q1, … Q4, M1, … M6, T1, …T3, E1,… E3, S1, S2, F1 or Y1
2. NOTE: The exam, semester and final grades are available for display; however, be mindful of the timing as the teachers enter grades and how the grades are calculated.
3. Enter the Source of Data as the Gradebook (best for current term) or Historical (stored).
4. NOTE: Using the Gradebook is the recommended Source of Data. The Stored grade is originally recorded from the Gradebook grade. This is also valuable when comparing the Historical Grade to the Gradebook Grade for accuracy.
5. Show Citizenship Grade is optional and typically unchecked.
6. Hide standards grades in Parent Access only applies to Elementary Schools.
7. NOTE: Elementary Schools should uncheck the "Hide standards grades in Parent Access" option so the parents are able to view their student's progress during the term. Ultimately, this will provide the parents with a more current view of their Kindergartner's progress. The parents can use this tool for coaching the student at home throughout the year instead of just at report card time.
   
8. Click Submit to record the changes.
9. After changing the display settings, proofread a sample student's Quick Lookup page. Displaying too many terms can cause alignment issues.

Recommended settings for the beginning of Quarter 2:

Define the Values on the Mobile App Display Tab:

1. The default Store Codes are already listed for the PowerSchool mobile app.
2. The only choice is to Enable or Disable by the checkbox.
3. NOTE: Enabling the Y1 Store Code will prematurely calculate the end of year grade for everyone to see before the exam period. This may be misleading since the grade is not finalized.
