How to enter marks, how the computer grades them, and who approves what

How the grading system works

Read this once and you will never be confused again. The rule is simple: the teacher writes the marks, the computer does all the mathematics. Nobody in this school adds up a total, works out a percentage or decides a grade by hand. The system does it the instant a number is typed.

1The boxes you will see on the form

SCORE
The teacher types this

The mark the child actually got in that subject. This is the only box a teacher normally touches.

MAX
The Exams Officer sets it

The highest mark possible for that subject. It is grey and locked for teachers so that nobody can change the rules by accident.

BONUS
The teacher types this

Extra marks for an outstanding answer. Only some subjects have it. If there is no bonus, leave it at 0.

TOTAL
The computer

Score + Bonus. It appears on its own as you type. You never type it.

%
The computer

(Score + Bonus) ÷ (Max + Bonus Max) × 100.

GRADE
The computer

The letter A+, A, B, C or D — decided by the percentage.

MENTION
The computer

The French word printed on the bulletin — EXCELLENT, TRES BIEN, BIEN, ASSEZ-BIEN, PASSABLE or INSUFFISANT.

SUBJECTSCOREBONUSMAXTOTAL%GRADE

SCIENCE16—201680.00%B
SOCIAL STUDIES17—201785.00%B
TOTAL8181/10081.00%B
Add the scores and bonuses: 26 + 22 + 16 + 17 = 81. Add the maximums: 30 + 30 + 20 + 20 = 100. Then 81 ÷ 100 = 81.00%. The computer sees 81.00%, so it prints grade B and mention BIEN. The teacher typed only four marks and one bonus — everything else was automatic.

5From one test to the whole year

  1. 1

    One evaluation period = one card

    The academic calendar decides how many evaluation periods a term has. Each one gets its own card in the form. You fill each card and submit it.

  2. 2

    The coefficient

    Every evaluation period has a coefficient. A period with coefficient 2 counts twice as much as a period with coefficient 1. The computer applies it for you — you never do this sum.

  3. 3

    The term result

    The computer takes the percentage of each period, multiplies it by that period's coefficient, adds them all up and divides by the total coefficient. That is the term result.

  4. 4

    The General Annual Result (GAR)

    At the end of the year the two curricula are combined: ((Semester 1 American + Semester 2 American) × 2 + (Semester 1 French + Semester 2 French) × 1) ÷ 6.

  5. 5

    Admitted or Repeat

    A student whose GAR is 50% or more is ADMITTED to the next class. Below 50%, the student REPEATS. The threshold is set on the Academic Year record by the Exams Officer.

A real GAR example

American — Semester 1: 82% · Semester 2: 86%

French — Semester 1: 74% · Semester 2: 78%

(82 + 86) × 2 = 336

(74 + 78) × 1 = 152

336 + 152 = 488

488 ÷ 6 = 81.33%

81.33% is above 50%, so the student is ADMITTED to the next class.

6Questions people ask most

The MAX box is grey and I cannot type in it. Is it broken?

No — that is correct. Only the Exams Officer can set a maximum mark. It is locked for teachers so that nobody changes the rules by accident.

I typed 200 instead of 20. What do I do?

If the record is still a Draft, just correct it and save again. If you already submitted it, ask the Exams Officer to return the record — then you can fix it.

The form is locked and I cannot type anything.

You have already submitted it. That is normal. It unlocks only when the Exams Officer returns it to you.

The grade looks wrong.

Check the MAX mark for that subject. The percentage is the score divided by the maximum, so a wrong maximum makes a wrong grade. Only the Exams Officer controls the maximum.

A parent says they cannot see the report card.

Only APPROVED reports appear in the parent portal. If it is still waiting for the Exams Officer or the Principal, the parent will not see it yet.

Do I have to calculate the total or the average myself?

Never. The computer calculates everything — the subject total, the percentage, the letter grade, the mention, the term average and the annual result. You only type the marks.

How many documents does one student get?

Twelve: two American progress reports, the American exam report, two American semester transcripts, two French progress bulletins, two French semester bulletins, the General Annual Result, the grade explanation sheet and the parent acknowledgement slip.

How does an outside school check a report card?

Give them the verification number printed in the footer of the report card. They open the Result Verification Portal, type the number, and see the official record with all 12 documents. No login is needed.
