Our District is brand new to PowerSchool and IM really confused on setting up the Final Grade and Reporting Term for our District. I have what is in the Below Photos so Far But i thought I made the Year and then I made 1st and 2nd Semester . But im confused on whats next and maybe if I know what its actually supossed to look like with a breakdown that would help.

If someone might have directions or Steps on this process that runs Semester 1 and 2 Semesters.

Our Elementary uses Standard Grading Scale thats just due and the end of east Semester for thatever Standards they are working on, Secondary has: progress Grades and Final Grade For Semester 1 and Semester 2 .

Would Anyone be willing to help be with this . Thank you So much

Final Grade/Reporting Terms are what you create so that you can store grades and teachers can work in PT Pro (teacher gradebook). This will depend on how you grade, but a very common setup in New York is something like Q1-4 for quarter 1-4 grades and an L6 and R6 and local and Regents exams, respectively.

The dates you are seeing there are pulled from your Years & Terms. Each area is a scheduling term, so what you put in 2025-2026 is for full-year classes, Semester 1 is for Sem 1 classes, etc. Best practice is to have no overlap and no gaps. The except to that is your Y1 (or whatever you use for a final course grade), which should encompass all other terms.

I have attached some screenshots
