Once a teacher has completed entering grades for the current quarter, the final step is to Finalize the Grades. The Office Staff runs the Section Readiness Report against all the classes to see which remain to be finalized. This is an important communication tool. Once all the grades are finalized, the SIS Technician is able to begin the grade storing process.

Note that grade changes in a gradebook do not automatically update in PowerSchool. Therefore, if a teacher changes a grade after they have been stored in PowerSchool they must notify office personnel responsible for managing Historical Grades so the grade can be updated there as well.

How to Finalize Grades:

1. From PowerTeacher, click on the Qx In Progress button, where x is the quarter number.
2. The Final Grades Completion Status window will popup.
3. Click on the Final Grades Complete checkbox.
4. Click OK to complete the operation.
