Example:<br />
The student enters from X <strong>School</strong> in XISD during the third nine-week grading<br />
period. The student has an average of 81% in Math. The teacher enters the<br />
average of 81% as the grade for each assignment in the gradebook that was scored<br />
prior to the student’s arrival. The school will enter the 81% as the student’s cycle<br />
grade for the first two nine-week grading periods.<br />
<strong>Teacher</strong>’s Gradebook:<br />
Assignment 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Math Cyl Avg<br />
81% 81% 81% 81% 81% 99% 90% 89% = 85%<br />
Report Card Cycle Marks for Math:<br />
Cycle 1 Cycle 2 Cycle 3 Cycle 4<br />
81% 81% 85% 87%<br />
3. Students who have not received a cycle grade from the sending school: Withdrawal grades<br />
will be used for any missing <strong>Aldine</strong> cycle grades and gradebook scores.<br />
4. After a student receives a cycle grade from the sending school, only the average of the cycle<br />
grades will be used for any missing <strong>Aldine</strong> cycle grades and gradebook scores.<br />
5. If a student is transferring into the district with no prior grades, the student will not be given<br />
a cycle average unless he/she has 4 daily grades, 1 major grade, and 1 homework grade.<br />
6. Transfer grades are calculated the same for students transferring from a school within the<br />
district and for students coming from a school outside of the district.<br />
