Infinite Campus Gradebook
Created by: Computer Education Support
(Jefferson County Public Schools)
Setting up your Gradebook:
Navigate to Instruction > Lesson Planner
Setting up your Gradebook: [2]
Set up your Preferences
YOU MUST SELECT YOUR GRADING SCALE!
This is going to be Grading Scale MS or Grading Scale HS unless your school is approved
to use a different Grading Scale. (Check with your administrator if there are questions. )
Weighting Example:
Tests/Quizzes = 30%
Homework = 20%
Projects = 20%
Classwork = 20%
Participation = 10%
Total = 100%
Scores Percent Value :
•Everything is worth 100%
•Points are not tracked
•You are tracking things based on A,B,C,D rather than 80%,90%,100% etc.
(So you wouldn’t be looking at students possibly earning 400/400 points for the term.)
If you have this checked and you make an assignment worth 60 points and a student
received 56 out of 60, it will look like the student got 56% instead of 56/60
