  2. 28.0212. Finality of Grade. (a) An examination or course grade issued by a classroom teacher is final and may not be changed unless the grade is arbitrary, erroneous, or not consistent with the school district grading policy applicable to the grade, as determined by the board of trustees of the school district in which the teacher is employed. Education Code - Subtitle F. Curriculum, programs, and services Chapter 28, Subchapter A

  10. Failure to Change incompletes • Grade Change Request

  11. Transfer Grades: • Start with a Grade Change Request • New Students to the district: • Choose the appropriate class in your gradebook • Click the Display Options button. Select Grade Period Display.

  12. Repeat this for each nine weeks that he/she was not part of the class.

  13. Another acceptable way - Enter the student’s nine weeks grade in the last assignment for the appropriate grading period. Use the comment “Transfer and date”. Repeat this for each nine weeks that he/she was not part of your class. For a student that comes in the middle of a grading period: Enter the transfer grade into each assignment up to where the student started receiving grades for your assignments for that grading period.
