 PowerTeacher Tid-Bits 

dog ate homework cartoon Weighting Semester and Term Grades-
If you weight your gradebook categories, make sure that you setup the weighting for each term that will have a grade recorded. In other words, if grades are sent out on Quarter 1, 2 and Semester 1, make sure you go to each term under Grade Setup and set the Category Weights for each term.

Without proper setup, term grades will be calculated incorrectly.
