Creating the score group Path: Grading & Standards > Score Group/List Note: The Score Group/List determines what will appear on the Standards Based Report Card. The Score will be next to the standard and the Name will be listed in a Key. If multiple marking systems are used (1-4, S-U) for different standards, create each system as a separate score group

4. Copyright © 2006, Infinite Campus, Inc. All rights reserved. 1b. Creating the Standards Banks Path: Grading & Standards > Standards Bank A. New Group  Parent Group  Child Group  Campus recommends creating parent groups by grade level, then child groups by academic area.

6. Copyright © 2006, Infinite Campus, Inc. All rights reserved. 1c. Creating the Standard(s) New Standard- allows a student to be assessed multiple times for that standard to show growth over time New One-time standard- once the student has mastered the skill, s/he is not re-assessed Standards can only be created once. It is recommended to create different standards per grade and use the grade in the standard name. For example:  [01] Works well in a group  [02] Works well in a group

7. Copyright © 2006, Infinite Campus, Inc. All rights reserved. System Admin Set Up A district curve for standards is used to calculate the score a student receives if assignments will be attached to standard tasks in the Lesson Planner/Gradebook and standard scores should be automatically calculated. Note: Teachers may create their own curve if this is allowed by the district. Path: System Admin > Grading & Standards > Curves
