Manual Entry Stored Grades Verification Report

Contents

Introduction

The Manual Entry Stored Grades Verification Report is designed to aid in the verification that all necessary elements required for state reporting are populated in manual entry stored grade records. Depending on the scenario, these records may be reported in the PEIMS Summer Submission, and are also reported on the AAR and in TREx.

For each included school and student, the report selects stored grades records where the Section ID is 0, and outputs the results in .csv format. The report can be filtered in Excel to identify missing or potentially incorrect data entry.

The Manual Entry Stored Grades Verification Report is PowerSchool report TX81.

This report uses the State Reporting Platform format and requires that the All States Reporting Installer be applied. This report is accessed using System Reports > State Reports.

Selection Criteria

Selection criteria determine which database records are used in the report.

The report selects manually entered Stored Grades records based on the following criteria:

  • The stored grade is associated with the School Year selected on the report page.

  • The Section ID in the stored grades record is 0 (None).

Report Input

For help with report navigation and generation, see Generate Reports.

Validation Mode should only be looking at store codes that are mapped in TX Stored Code Mapping as a Final Grade where Final Grade Type = S1, S2 or Average.   Below, there are numerous "C1" and other marking period grades which should not be on the report.  Need to use the same selection criteria as in the Transcript Interchange. In the Dallas dataset, School Two Hundred Forty-Four_-3_5 doesn't have any store code mapping set up, which will cause all of their records to report incorrectly as we will never be able to identify the completion grade (that is a different issue I will take up with Dallas).
