Transfer Students Index  

Changing Periods (same teacher)

To transfer a student from one period to another, go to the page, add them to the new period, and remove them from the old period. Their grades will transfer automatically wherever it finds the same assignment on the same date, so if different periods have different assignments or different assignment dates, you'll need to manually transfer those scores.

If students change periods each grading period, it will still find the cumulative total (e.g., the Semester total of two Quarters) as long as it's with the same teacher. But if they are changing teachers, see below.


Changing Teachers

To transfer a student from one teacher to another, both teachers need to make adjustments. The old teacher needs to:

1. Print or email a grade report for the new teacher.
2. Go to the page and Remove or Withdraw the student.

The new teacher needs to:

1. Go to the page and Add the student.
2. On the page create a new assignment to represent the student's transfer grade.
3. Set the assignment to be "Worth" however many points the rest of the class has accumulated so far in the grading period.
4. Check the "Independent Study" checkbox so other students don't see this assignment on their reports.
5. Enter the student's transfer grade as a percent or grade.

Note: Report cards do not add together grades from different teachers for cumulative grades — e.g, the Semester total will not include Quarters from different teachers. This is because each teacher may have very different grading systems, with a vastly different number of points possible or different cutoffs for each grade, so the new teacher must decide how the grade should be transferred.


Changing Schools

If a student enters your class from another school in the middle of the grading period, use the same procedure as above.

To transfer data for all students graduating from one school to another, e.g., all 8th graders entering high school, see Export Students.
