  • Birthday Lists in Campus

    Create a list of each month's student birthdays by using the Census by Birthdate report.

    1. Open Census, then open Reports.
    2. Select Census by Birthdate report.
    3. In the "Start Date" field, enter today's date.
    4. In the "select a month to print" field, select the birthday month you wish to see (December = 12).
    5. Generate Report.

    Printing SPPS Reports

    Use Internet Explorer--not Firefox--when printing reports from the custom SPPS Reports.  These reports do not work in Firefox.

    Grading Curves--Setup Tips

    Most problems with teacher Gradebook stem from incorrectly set up curves.  Be sure that:

      • your curve has a unique name (no two curves should have identical names).
      • you do not repeat a Score (A, B, C, etc.)
      • you do not repeat a MinPercent.
      • Your bottom (last) curve item MUST be:
        • Score = N
        • MinPercent = 0.
      • Delete any extra lines in your curve. (Verify this by looking at your curve again after you have created and saved it.)

    Gradebook--Problems

    Check your curve if you encounter these common gradebook problems:

      • Curve does not calculate correctly in Gradebook.
      • Gradebook reports do not appear.
