Errors when Entering Grades
Error 42:  When entering grades during report card time, after you hit “=” and save… you may see red letters at the bottom of the screen that say SYSTEM ERROR 42 or something like that instead of SAVED SUCCESSFULLY
If that happens to you… it’s probably because you have a withdrawn student that is not hidden. Go to the kids class from your dashboard, update roster, hide the kid, and try the report card again. You should not get any errors this time around.  See also the following instructions on a work around

If I have a year-long class… do I still have to check the FIN box???   YES… check the FIN box and then SAVE for ALL classes.
 

I check more than one button (Q2, S1 or FIN) and hit the “=” button and the grades don’t calculate properly.   You have to do each of the buttons (Q2, S1 or FIN) one at a time AND in order.  Make sure you SAVE… manually adjust… and SAVE after you hit the “=” button.
 

I have a student who has in the 3 grades (Qtr 1, Qtr 2, Semester Exam) of the first semester, but when I hit the “=” sign, it recalculates so the student gets a passing grade.    Hitting the “=” button for a checked box recalculates the grades based upon what has been entered into ProgressBook. 

Here’s the procedure for MANUALLY overriding any of the checked boxes…

·       Check the appropriate box (Q2, S1 or FIN) and hit the “=” button.  ProgressBook will recalculate grades.

·         Hit SAVE

·         Go back and MANUALLY change any grades that need to be changed.

·       DO NOT hit the “=” button… but go right to the SAVE button.  If you hit the “=” button… your manual override will be discarded.
 

I  try to change an assignment grade from the second quarter, but I can’t get it to save properly!  Make sure you are in Quarter 2 (Q2) and ALSO make sure that the assignment date AND the assignment due date fall within the range of the second quarter.
