Elementary MCC Grading Tasks

Select Term (Q1 for example) at the top of the screen. Choose the subject that you be submitting grades for in the Section menu. Then select the Task. Each Task is a standard. Grade your students on their performance for each standard: Incomplete Evidence, 1, 2, 3, or Exceeds.

For reference- Elementary Grading Scale 

3. After grading a standard, click Save. Repeat this process for all tasks.


**Fill Options

Select Grade checkbox > Enter Grade. Select which students whose grades you want to fill, all or only where fields are empty.  Click Fill when finished.  Can also be used for Comments.  No Canned Comments at the elementary level.

 
 

Secondary

Secondary teachers will enter the grade total they see in Canvas into Infinite Campus. The easiest way to look at grades in Canvas and enter them in Infinite Campus is using split view so you can view both gradebooks at the same time.

Select Term (Q1 for example) at the top of the screen. Choose the course that you be submitting grades for in the Section menu. Then select the Task. 

Which Task should you use?

Term Grade: Semester-long courses that are not completed at the end of quarter will submit a term grade (i.e. English 8 after Q1 is over). Quarter-long middle school courses must also complete a term grade. Quarter-long high school courses do not need to enter a term grade.

Final Grade: Use when the course is completed. For quarter-long courses, enter the final grade at the end of the quarter. For semester-long courses, enter the final grade at end of semester. For year-long courses, enter the final grade at end of the year. 

Assign each student a grade. Select a grade A-F, P/F, or Incomplete.* Optionally, MS teachers may want to enter the overall percent the student earned to use Infinite Campus to calculate a final grade (average) if your class spans more than a quarter. Enter comments if you would like. Click CC to select from a list of "canned comments" you can use. Make sure to click “Save” when grades are completed.

*Incomplete grades are typically due two weeks after the end of quarter unless otherwise stipulated by your building. Teachers should refer to this article if they want students to have access to Canvas assignments/quizzes after the quarter officially ends.

Here is the grading scale for your reference:
 

Repeat this process for each section/period you teach. Be sure to click Save after each section has been graded!

Seating Chart

**If teaching at multiple schools, verify you are on the correct School > Calendar

Instruction > Students > Seating Charts > New

Select Section

***You may have to use the Scroll bar to see all classes in window***

Enter a Name for the chart > Enter Column > Rows and Space Between Desks

If you want to automatically fill the chart with students, select the Place option you'd like to use: Alphabetically A to Z, Alphabetically Z to A, or Random.
If you would rather fill desks manually, select Do Not Place. Students names display in a list from which you can place them in desks. 

Create Chart
You can click and drag desks into any configuration you'd like.  

Save

Print Seating Chart

Select Section > Seating Chart > Open Chart > Report Options

 
 

Click and Drag Logic

The following logic applies to manually placing students in the chart.

  • Desks can be arranged in any configuration but cannot overlap.
  • Click and drag the New Desk icon to add an empty desk to the chart.
  • Click and drag unseated students from the list at the top into empty spaces.
  • Click the X on a student to move them to the unseated list. Click the X on a desk to remove that desk from the chart.
  • Moving a student to a space without a desk also moves the student's desk.
  • Moving a student to another desk leaves an empty desk behind.
  • Moving a student to a space where there isn't a desk adds another desk to the chart.
  • Moving an unseated student (A) to a desk that already has another student (B) moves student B to the unseated list. If students A and B are both seated, they'll trade desks.
