Class - Student Assignments Status for Multiple Students
The Class - Student Assignments Status allows you to run for a current selection of students. I do not see a student name column so you don't know which assignment belongs to which student in your selection.
Thank you!

Class-Grades and Assignment Scores
Thank you for all of your hard work creating these reports. They are wonderful!!!
I have a question regarding this report. It doesn't give the overall grade for the class, it has the grade level of the student. I love how it shows all the assignments with scores, but it would be awesome if we could see the overall current grade as well. Is that something that could be added?

Adding Reporting Term for "Class - Student Assignments Status"
It would be great to add the ability to select which quarter you want to view assignments for. This could be a drop down at the top or the term can be included in the column so it can be filtered. Thanks!

Honor Roll Report
Good Morning,
When trying to pull up the honor roll report I am not able to see any of the store codes we have set up in the drop down menus and I also cannot see any of our honor roll methods in the report drop down list. How can I get our store codes and honor roll methods to show up as selections on the report? Thanks for the help.

To use this report you need to store the grades and calculate the honor roll first.
Navigate to: System/Grades/Calculate Honor Roll.
After the calculation is completed, you will see the available menu options.

Class - Grades and Assignment Scores
If a teacher marks a student as exempt from an assignment, the report shows a blank. It would be helpful to be able to distinguish exempt grades from missing grades in the report.

Stored Grades - By Course/Teacher not showing all teachers/grade
After looking into the code, found that the ExcludeFromStoredGrades condition is including only those with 0, but 2 is also a valid value.
In order to get them to work I changed the conditions from "= 0" to "!= 1".
I suspect that other reports may have this same issue.

Honor Roll Report
When running the Honor Roll Report if we run it for a large number of students the entire report runs but it doesn't list the student names after listing 170 students. The remainder of the report is listed but student names are left out. We are running it for all store codes, all methods, and all levels using a current selection of 243 students.

The values for the the multi-select grades menu are auto generated from the grades that currently exist in the teacher grade book.
If the "F" grade does not appear on the menu it would indicate that no "F" grades currently exist in the grade books/year you are searching.

PSCB - Custom Reports (Grading)
Student Potential/Earned Credit Summary
I have a couple of questions - is there a way to add a term to the drop down. We assign credit based on the F1 grade and it is not showing in the drop down. Also the grade level is only 9-12 could that be expanded to include 7 & 8. We have some middle school students that earn credit and they would like to be able to use this report also.
Thank you

PSCB - Custom Reports (Grading) - Reply
The Student Potential/Earned Credit Summary report is school based only. It will only display credits for grades 9-12 in the current school.
The Store Code dropdown menu is auto generated by the store codes found in Historical grades. If a store code does not appear on the menu, it indicates that the store does not exist in historical grades.
PSCB has no plans to add additional grade levels at this time. You can customized the report if you want to include grades 7-8 from another school.

Stored Grades - By Course/Teacher
I don't believe I have actually used this particular report previously, but I was wondering if additional setup was needed somewhere that I'm unaware of. I would love to be able to run the report by specific teacher, but there is no drop-down available. It simply says All Teachers and that is the only option. We split courses at the semester so for example S13 is Biology Semester 1 and S14 is Semester 2. instead of running the report twice per course, ideally we would run it by each Science teacher individually and look at the info that way. Is anyone else having a similar issue where teachers aren't selectable?

Gradebook - Traditional Grade Calculations
Normally a great report, but we are finding some bad data returns on just a few teachers...it will report a calc type as term weights, but the cacl items are coming back as Category item. We asked teachers to touch on the calc type, turn it off and back on again. it appears that we need a data refresh and can not get it to happen.
I just installed version 1.7 and that did not correct problem

I am having an issue with this report as well. I set up a new traditional grade calculation formula this year. In PowerSchool, I marked the new formula as the default and removed the default status from the old formula as well as disabling the checkbox for that school. When I run this report it gives me two sets of calculation types per section - (1) category weighting and (1) total points. When I look at a teachers grade book setups I only see the category weighting. IS this report related or do I have something wrong in my set up?

Gradebook - Update Status
It appears that the Gradebook Update Status does not include sections that have not created any assignments yet at all. I have several sections that have 0 grades or assignments (after 3 weeks of school...) but they are not listed in the report.
Looks like the SQL in the report that would be causing that inconsistency is:
"INNER JOIN (SELECT MAX(LastGradeUpdate) Lastupdate, SECTIONID FROM PGFinalGrades GROUP BY SECTIONID) PGFG ON PGFG.SectionID = Sections.ID"
I think there is nothing in the PGFinalGrades table until a teacher creates an assignment, so that section doesn't get joined to anything and isn't listed. Any way to change the SQL so that the lastupdate day is the start of term if there is nothing in the PGFinalGrades table for a section?

Minimum occurrences
I always loved using the Letter Grades Report from the old CRB to search for only students meeting a certain minimum threshold. So much so, that I never uninstalled the CRB reports when upgrading to the PSCB suite. Recently I was asked about pulling that report but including student number. I attempted to just add in what I assumed was the appropriate code, but no matter what I do it only displays the internal student ID (the same as on Teacher Comments), not the student_number. Does anyone have any tips? Alternatively, is there any thought to adding an optional minimum # of occurrences to the class/stored grades - search reports within this plugin? It would be greatly appreciated and I'm sure I'm not the only user who loves that functionality as it's a huge timesaver over exporting and manually filtering to students with 2, 3, etc. failing or low grades.

Thanks for the update. My comment was probably a bit confusing as it was disjointed. I had meant I was trying to add student number into the old letter grades report, but with the update to add minimum # into PSCB, it does everything we need.

Traditional Grade Calculations
Good morning,
I just installed the latest version (1.8) and the Traditional Grade Calculations report is showing that we have several classes that are using total points but when I look at teacher's PowerTeacher Pro traditional grade calculations, I see the categories that are pushed out through district. The only classes at our school that use total points are those that do not have assignments. Does anyone know why this may be?
