22. Missing Assignments Lists all assignments from all classes that are considered missing!

23. Missing Assignments Asterisks

24. What does an * mean? The grade has notbeen posted in the gradebook! • An * does NOT affect the average • A “zero” DOES affect the average • Skyward makes an assignment missing 5 days after the due date.

25. An asterisk . . . what now? What to do if I see an * in the grade book: • Look at the due date! • If the due date was 1/21/11 and today is 1/22/11, chances are the teacher hasn’t graded the assignment …check back. • If the due date was 1/21/11 and today is 2/5/11, • ask your child about the missing grade…was it completed, was it turned in?

26. An asterisk . . . what now? Always check with your child FIRST! • Please keep in the mind the length of time that may be needed to grade an assignment. • For example, a research paper will take longer to grade and record than a worksheet might!

27. An asterisk . . . what now? • Many teachers enter a 0 for a missing assignment rather than leaving it as an * so the resulting student average reflects the actual grade in the event the assignment is not completed and/or turned in! • Once the assignment is turned in and graded, the 0 will be changed to the actual grade if the work was made up within the time allowed by the teacher!

28. Comments Comments written by teacher is for the six weeks grading period.
