Infinite Campus Gradebook Created by: Computer Education Support (Jefferson County Public Schools)

Setting up your Gradebook: Navigate to Instruction > Lesson Planner

Setting up your Gradebook: [2] Set up your Preferences Weighting Example: Tests/Quizzes = 30% Homework = 20% Projects = 20% Classwork = 20% Participation = 10% Total = 100% Scores Percent Value : Everything is worth 100% Points are not tracked You are tracking things based on A,B,C,D rather than 80%,90%,100% etc. (So you wouldn’t be looking at students possibly earning 400/400 points for the term.) If you have this checked and you make an assignment worth 60 points and a student received 56 out of 60, it will look like the student got 56% instead of 56/60 YOU MUST SELECT YOUR GRADING SCALE! This is going to be Grading Scale MS or Grading Scale HS unless your school is approved to use a different Grading Scale. (Check with your administrator if there are questions. )

Setting up your Gradebook: [3] Set up your Preferences Middle Schools: Set everything up under 6 week grading tasks (Not Semester, Final or Conduct) High Schools: Refer to the “Properly Setting up & Posting Grades in Infinite Campus” document (located in the JCPS IC Info Site – In a Nutshell – Teacher)for details on where to store your assignments and where to post your grades.

Weight: Only enter a number here if you have checked Weighting in Lesson Plan Preferences. Term/Task Combination: Choose all applicable terms in which you will need this folder – MS’s – check each Six Weeks task, HS’s see ‘Setting up and Posting Grades’ document.
