Student Subject Report Card and the Multi-Subject Report Card 
There are numerous options on the Type
and Range tab:
The Report
Title menu at the upper left enables a selection or any user-defined title. Block and re-type a new title
if the desired title isn't in the list. In the Type of
Report box, select one of three types of reports. The Detailed
report usually takes more paper than the Summary report. Reduce this paper requirement by selecting the
Last XX of XX entries option.
The Mini Report puts several students on a single sheet of paper. Get 4
to 10 students per page depending on the other options selected. Note that the number of pages will display in
red. The List of Entries with Zero! is a powerful motivator for interim reports. For the Range
at the right, select
one of the four options by clicking the appropriate button. The
Sequential button prints one report for each student. The third button
enables printing for any exclusive grade range. The Selected button
enables any choice - click once on each selected name. Click the Print Detailed Report
button and MarkBook will display the number of
sheets of paper required for this print run. If not sure, preview with
FinePrint or print one report to
confirm its appearance and then use the Sequential button to print reports for
the rest of the class. If warranted, use the
Override button near the center right to change to grade just before printing. For instance,
if a student has a calculated grade of 49%, and a pass is 50%, it's likely wise to lower or raise
this grade before sending a report home. This replacement grade is not saved.
In fact, it disappears as soon as another student is selected. Alternatively,
set up the 'Bump' logic as in section 7-1.
The General Options tab gives numerous options for printing. Click inside
any cell to select it. We recommend that Attendance, the Trends Graph, a Confirmation Request and Comments be included. MarkBook remembers
the last settings used for the next time you elect to print student reports. Note the option to include a blank Comments box
(empty frame) for hand-written comments.
Use none to exclude both comments and the blank comment box. For details on creating comments, see section
10-1. For a Modal
report, select the Mode cell at the lower left and the Modal Analysis
Graph cell in the center. Unclick the Mark (%) cell and MarkBook will print a
mode-only report card without a weighted average grade. We recommend printing the Parent/Guardian
Signature Form option including the count of Zeros! The Setup
button at the lower left will select options consistent with other choices made
in that same box.
Select among these screen options.
Choose whether or not to include the Comparisons to the Class Average. If
comparison to average is not acceptable, click it off. The Actual Mark button displays data as entered. If not selected, all data will print as percentages. Once finished with
the three tabs above, click on the Print Detailed Report or Print Summary Report
button.
In the event that more than one report has been selected, MarkBook will warn about
the number of pages required at the upper right.
To send Email
reports, MarkBook users must enter their return Email address and their SMTP
host name under Setup. Once done, use this screen to select options at the left
and then click Send Email Reports. Send to all parents for
whom you have a valid address with one click and then to all
students with a second click. Copy yourself with the CC (carbon copy)
button or the BCC (blind carbon copy) button. The latter doesn't show the
recipient that you got a copy of the report. There are two Email report formats.
The HTML report sends a detailed chart with all data. The Text
report sends a plain text
summary of achievement and attendance to date as specified on the first two
tabs. No typing is required on your part. Enter a password on this screen if
required.
TeacherWeb is a
service for teachers worldwide to post information for classes and parents on
the Internet. MarkBook generates a file from this screen to post class data on
TeacherWeb. There is a nominal fee for this service. Once the options at the
left are selected, click the Create TeacherWeb File button and follow the
prompts. MarkBook will suggest an appropriate name and location for the file.
Once saved, you'll get the following instructions:
SchoolConnects,
also known as Synrevoice, makes an attendance telephone dialer program. MarkBook
generates a file for SchoolConnects to send telephone, Email and web messages
about achievement to parents. Select individuals or the entire class on the Type
and Range tab. Select the subject name from the drop-down menu and to select an overall mark or a specific assessment entry.
Click the Create SchoolConnects File button to make the file. Forward to
your SchoolConnects secretary for broadcast. MarkBook
generates a multi-subject report card by combining two or more Mark Sets. Click
on Reports in the upper menu bar and select Combined Mark Sets. Or, select the Combined
Report button from the main operating screen. Then, click the Student
Report tab to reach
this screen.
Select among the options
and click the Print Student Report button at the lower right. See section 9-7
