Historical grade weighting

A student has transferred to our high school.  I am entering his grades and credits from his previous school into "Historical Course Grades," and he has an honors class.  Is there a way to show that this class was weighted?  When entering the grade, there seems to be no way to specify that.  After submitting the grade, when I try to edit it, the field named "associated grade scale" has None.  It cannot be edited, I assume because that grade is not associated with our own school's courses/weights.  But shouldn't there be a way to alert the system to weight that class differently from regular grades?

The answer to that question will completely depend on the setup of your GPA Calculations. One way to do this is with the Added Value field on the Historical Grade record.
