PowerTeacher Pro – Add Transfer Grade Assignment

When a student moves from one class to another section of the same class:

From the main navigation menu, choose Students. Students who enrolled in the class after the term's start date are indicated with New - [date] under their name.
Select the student's name.
On the student Quick Menu, select Transfer Scores. Or, if you display the student's Assignments page, select the gear icon and choose Transfer Scores.
Use the filter options to limit the number of items on the page. If the filter is not available, click the gear icon and select Show Filter.
Choose the dropped class from the From Class menu.
Choose the class to which you want the scores copied from the To Class menu.
From the To Class Assignment column, select the assignment mapping:
- If the assignment ID or assignment name matches between the From Class and To Class, the matching assignment displays in the To Class column automatically.
- If multiple assignment names match between the From Class and To Class, but there is one unique due date match among the multiple exact name matches, the assignment with the matching due date automatically displays in the To Class column.
- If there are no matching IDs or names between the From Class and To Class, then no suggested assignment displays, but you can browse available assignments and select one for score mapping.
Click Details to display transfer score details and messages indicating any potential issues with the score transfer.
Click Transfer Scores.

If you don't get a section match follow these steps:

PART 1 – DETERMINE NEW STUDENT’S PREVIOUS CLASS PERCENTAGE
