17 d. Weight Grades by Assignment Category: Check this box if you want the Gradebook to assign a percentage of the total grade to categories of assignments, like tests, homework, or participation. For example, this option can be helpful if you count participation as 10% of student s grade or if you assign an extensive project worth 25% of the marking period grade. Once this option is checked, you can setup the category weights on the Gradebook Assignments page. If you use a total points system, you should leave this option unchecked. *Note: Refer to the FWISD Elementary or Secondary Guide to Grade Reporting. These documents are available from the Division of Teaching and Learning and are located at: e. Add to Each Section by Default: Click on this box if you want Focus to add the same assignments to all sections of the same course you teach. If you leave this box unchecked the assignment will only be added for the class you have selected. You can still check this box in the Gradebook when you set up individual assignments. Educational Technology Participant Manual 11

18 f. Display Percentages in Gradebook: By unchecking this option, you ll save room in your Gradebook by removing the percentages column. The Gradebook can display points, percentages, and letter grades, but this option might not be useful, especially if you have lots of assignments, and/or assignments worth 100 points. g. Display Due Date (or Assigned Date) in Assignment Column Heading: By checking these options, these dates would be displayed along with the assignment title in the Gradebook. h. Full Year Gradebook: Enable this feature if students are allowed to turn in assignments over the course of the school year, and you want to eliminate having separate Gradebooks for each quarter. In most cases, this option will only be used for schools that offer online courses or allow students to continue working past the end of the marking period. Note: Fort Worth ISD does not use this feature. Using this feature and unchecking it later will cause the loss of all entered grades. 12 Focus: Grade Book, Attendance, and Discipline Educational Technology

19 i. Enter Student Numbers in the Gradebook: Checking this option creates another column in the Gradebook where you can enter a special code for students, so if you wish to print grades, you can do so with these codes instead of names. j. Display Each Student s Grade Level in the Gradebook: Check this option to display student grade levels in the Gradebook, for example, if you have a class where there are students from different grades, checking this option will allow for easier identification of which students are in which grade. k. Custom Grades: You can establish customized grades for either excluded grades or zero grades. Enter the grade code under Grade, create the Display Name to show type, and select the grade type (excluded or zero). Click Save to add the custom grade to your gradebook. Note: regardless of designation, be sure that a grade is entered for every student for every assignment. Missing grades will prevent grades posting. Educational Technology Participant Manual 13

20 l. Groups: You can establish different groups within a class. Simply click Enable Gradebook Groups and enter the names of the groups you would like to create. Return to the gradebook and assign students to the different groups. After the groups are assigned to the students, you can select the group you would like to view from the drop down menu, and the Gradebook will only display the names of the students assigned to that particular group. m. Grade Title Colors: You can choose different colors for different grades, for easier recognition in the Gradebook. Simply select the color for each Grade. The grades listed are pulled from the grading scale that has been assigned to the course you are configuring. 4. Click Save. Renaming Classes Note: elementary music, art, and p. e. teachers who have numerous sections find this feature very helpful. 1. Click the My Information tab. 2. Select Preferences. 14 Focus: Grade Book, Attendance, and Discipline Educational Technology

21 3. Select the Class Section Names tab. Items underlined in blue can be edited. 4. Click the Title of the Course under the Course Title Heading to change the course title to the desired class name.

Click Save. *Note: This change will only appear for your class list; it does not appear when printing Progress Reports, Interim Reports or Report Cards. Combining Sections in the Gradebook/Attendance Focus provides the opportunity to combine sections in the gradebook for easier data entry. This may be useful for various reasons, such as combining various grade levels or groups of students who are taking the same class during the same period, or to combine smaller groups of students who are taking the same course, but during different periods. Combining sections does not change grading, Progress Reports, or Report Cards, but is simply a convenience for teachers to have students displayed together on one gradebook screen. To combine sections, follow these instructions. 1. Click My Information. Educational Technology Participant Manual 15

22 2. Select Preferences. 3. Click the Display Options tab. 4. Select one of the following options: a. Combine sections in the same period for taking attendance. b. Combine sections for the gradebook- by period. Note: the two above selections are helpful for the teacher who has multiple grade levels or groups of students during the same class period. c. Combine sections by Custom Groups. Note: While rarely used, this selection may be helpful for the teacher with smaller groups taking the same course but during different periods. Custom Groups will only affect the gradebook; taking attendance during the sections separate periods will proceed normally. 5. Click Save. Combine Sections in the Gradebook by Custom Groups Once you have selected the option to combine sections in the gradebook by Custom Groups, you will need to setup a Custom Group. 1. Click on Add Group. You will be given the option to name the group. 2. To the left, you will see ungrouped sections. 16 Focus: Grade Book, Attendance, and Discipline Educational Technology

23 3. Drag and Drop Sections into the groups you have just created. 4. Click Save. *Note: Once you have combined sections in the gradebook by custom groups, do not un-combine the sections. This may cause issues with the gradebook. A warning message will appear for any teacher who attempts this. Enabling Gradebook Groups Gradebook Groups are distinguished from Custom Groups in that Gradebook Groups are members of the same section in the same period who are being combined for group assignments and group grades. For example, a teacher may choose to group students for purposes of differentiation or for specialized projects such as Science Fair. To create Gradebook Groups, use the following steps: 1. Select the Grades tab. 2. Select Gradebook Configuration. Educational Technology Participant Manual 17

24 3. Scroll to Locate Groups at the bottom of the screen directly above the colored grade grid. 4. Check Enable Gradebook Groups. 5. Type the Name of the Group you want to add. 6. Click Enter.
