In this case, the standards scores will have to be manually entered individually. Each assignment should be weighted one time (1.0). Each standard assessed during a specific quarter should have a MINIMUM of 3 assignments (for ELA, this only applies to the focus standards in highlighted in bold). Work Habits and Conduct should be assessed in the teacher s Homeroom class. Teachers MUST use Home Base/PowerTeacher to enter student attendance.
