Missing grades (blank grades) and incomplete grades play an integral part in Academic Records for the student.

For report cards, a blank grade will show as a space on the report card and a grade if INC will show for incomplete grades if the teacher manually entered it in the gradebook before grades were stored. For honor roll calculations, a blank grade or a grade of INC will reflect a grade of zero (0) in the average and disqualify the student from the Honor Roll. For transcripts, only the final grades are displayed on the official transcript. An F1 grade in Historical Grades are calculated as an average from the term grades. If a term grade is a missing grade, the average will be significantly lower with the zero (0) averaged into the calculation.

Use the Stored Grades-Missing/Blank Grades report in PSCB Custom Reports > Grading to find missing grades.

Note: If a student has an incomplete (INC) at the end of a school year, it should be updated before the start of the new school year. If the student doesn't complete the class assignments, the grade should be considered a zero(0) and averaged into the grade for the class.

Use the Stored Grades-Search report in PSCB Custom Reports > Grading to locate the incomplete grades (INC).

Additional Information! If a teacher actually selected INC as a term grade in their gradebook it would have been stored as such in Historical Grades. This too will hinder a student from being on the honor roll when it's calculated in PS. It will also show up on report cards and transcripts as INC.

So, in addition to running the Stored Grades-Missing/Blank Grades report in PowerSchool to find missing grades in Historical Grades, you can also run the Stored Grades-Search report to find Historical Grades listed as INC. You will need to select the Store Code and INC as the grade to search for. Note that both of these only look at current year grades. Note that the teacher must also fill out a Grade Change form in the case that they update an INC grade in their gradebook. To my understanding, a student shouldn't have an INC as a final grade for a previous year once a new school year begins so it would be best to address these as early as possible. In situations where the student has been given more time to complete grades be sure to note that it needs to be updated at the beginning of the new school year. Decisions regarding this should be made at the school level.
