Delete "score" column and only use standards for grades

Is there a way to delete the "Score" column in PowerTeacher Pro and keep the standards columns, so that students are only receiving grades for the individual standards of the assignment and don't receive an "overall grade" for the assignment? We grade only based on standards, so having an "overall assignment" grade is not useful with our district's grading philosophy and having the "score" column is confusing for our users.

see screenshot below showing the problem at hand--we would like to delete the "score" column, or at least re-name it.

Thank you for reaching out in the PowerSchool Community!

 

I recommend reaching out to a PowerSchool Admin within the school or district to look into editing the grading criteria within PowerTeacher Pro.  The PowerSchool Admin can determine if the change should be school-wide or district-wide.  The PS Admin can then work with PowerSchool Support to assist with any changes to the grading scales within PowerTeacher Pro.

We have teachers create the assignments as "collected only" so the score column does not allow any entry of point, only comments.  This is our "hack" for the same issue.
