Summary of Page

This knowledgebase article will show teachers how to Recalculate Final grades from within their own Gradebook.  There are a number of reasons why a teacher would want to Recalculate Final grades.  Some of the more common reasons include but not limited to: Change in Grade Scale, Change in Reporting Terms, Change in Final Grade calculation, Addition of Final Grade term.  Any one of those reasons will require a teacher to launch their gradebook and Recalculate Final Grades.  In this article we will show you how to do that in both: 

 

  • PowerTeacher Gradebook (PTG)
  • PowerTeacher Pro (PTP)

 

PowerTeacher Gradebook (PTG)

 

The PowerTeacher Gradebook is the original java based gradebook that all schools used at one point.  If you school is still using this Gradebook please be sure to follow these steps to properly Recalculate Final grades.  Keep in mind that you should ALWAYS close out your Gradebook and Relaunch it prior to performing these steps.  This is a very important step because the Gradebook will need to download any new changes made on the Admin Portal.  Closing out the Gradebook and re-launching it will do this for you.  Once the Gradebook is Launched you will do the following: 

 

1) Click on the "Tools" menu at the top

 

2) Find and Click on Recalculate Final Grades

 

3) On the Recalculate Final Grades screen use the following settings: 

  • Overall Class Final Grades
  • Update Teacher Score Codes 

 

4) Click OK and the Final Grades will update. 

 

This should update all class sections but you can always repeat steps 1 - 4 in the event that it did not change it for a particular class section.  If you are not seeing any Grade Update, please feel free to contact SBTC Powerschool Support Desk.  They will be able to assist you with Troubleshooting the gradebook further.

 

PowerTeacher Pro (PTP)

 

If your school is using the PowerTeacher Pro, this is the newer web based gradebook, then you will want to  follow these steps:

 

1) On the PowerTeacher Pro be sure to be selected to the Scoresheet.  Once there find and click on the gear icon on the top right hand side.

 

2) From the Drop Down menu select Recalculate Final Grades

 

3) On the Recalculate Final Grades screen use the following settings: 

  • Traditional Final Grades
  • Refresh Assignment Scores (Traditional)
  • Optional: You can select Multiple Classes at 1 time.

4) Click Recalculate

 

This should update the Final Grade and Assignment scores that were impacted by the Grade Scale change or any other change made on the Admin portal.  The Assignment Scores can be optional if you choose not to update them and only the Final Grades.
