6th+Grade+Fall+Report+Tips

Following is information that you will need to write your reports. If you have questions, please let Ben or Kim know. Please use the following as your guide: Please include in all reports: You might want to address:
 * MIDDLE SCHOOL FALL REPORTS – SIXTH GRADE **
 * // There are no behavior or effort grades for sixth grade, only the letter grade // . The letter grade goes in the F column.
 * Your report must include a short “blurb” describing the first trimester of the course you teach. To enter this blurb, in Teacher Administration, where your courses are listed, highlight the course for which you want to enter a blurb (don’t open that course up, just click on it once). Then click the SECT. COM. button in the lower right hand corner of that dialogue box. Whatever you enter in that new dialogue box will print out at the top of each boy’s report for your class automatically. This blurb will NOT appear any other place than on the printed copy, so do not worry when you do not see it elsewhere in Senior Systems.
 * Reports are due in Senior Systems by Tuesday, December 1. Your reports must be in the System by 2:45, as we will print at that time.
 * If you are unsure how to use Senior Systems please ask Ben or Glenn Lieberman for help. They give private tutorials!
 * Please make sure you have Spell Checked your reports.
 * You can use quotation marks for the title of a book, but the System won’t let you underline. When using quotations to indicate a title, all punctuation goes OUTSIDE of the quotations
 * Please remember that no parent should be surprised by the information in your report. If you have any concerns that may be a surprise, let's talk.
 * Our understanding is that we receive reports in their final form and just need to proof them one last time. Please make sure that you have proofread your reports for spelling, grammar and content. If you cut and paste common comments from one boy to the next, and there is an error in that comment, then Ben has to go and fix it for every boy for whom you used that comment. Please do not let this happen!
