KEY to Skyward Computer Grade Program:
• NC no count: We use this feature to enter assessments and data that we want to share and keep track of but that do not count toward the students’ grade.
• ABS Absent: Student was absent at the time the assignment was due and needs to turn in the assignment as soon as they return to school or follow the make-up work procedures.
• 0 zero: Student did not hand in the work. • MS Missing: Work is missing and not handed in on time.• * not entered: A star that means we have not yet corrected it or have
not entered the grade into the computer.
• If your child is really missing an assignment it will list a points possible score and their score will be a zero with a check under missing column. I will also write a reason why the assignment is missing in the comments section.
