Zero Category Weight — Select "Weighted Categories" on the page, and create a Category with zero weight. The Category will still have a subtotal grade, but that will not count toward the total grade.
Zero Cumulative Weight —

This is one way to handle non-academic grades on report cards, like Citizenship or Effort. Special Marks — Use a Special Mark from the page where the value is undefined ( - ), or any Special Mark if you're using Rubrics.
