Here at PUSD, we generate two type of report cards; the Standard Based Report Card (SBRC) for elementary students and Secondary Report Cards for middle and high school students. Below are some key points you should be aware of both report cards.

Report Card Grading Periods
 SBRC    Quarter Deficiency Grades   Quarter Grades  SchoolCenter Picture
 Trimester 1 - Nov 18th    QP1 - Sept 26 - 30th  Q1 - October 28th
 Trimester 2 - March 2nd    QP2 - Nov 28 - Dec 2nd  S1 - January 20th
 Trimester 3 - June 1st    QP3 - Feb 20 - 24th  Q3 - March 23rd
     QP4 - Apr 30 - May 4th  S2 - June 1st
       
SBRC Key Points:
  • Printed three times troughout the school year.
  • SBRC can be printed at your school side or submit a HELP Desk ticket to have it printed by ITS.
  • To print a prior years SBRC, you need to log into Archive to print the report card.

Secondary Report Card Key Points:

  • Deficiency notices are generated 4-5 weeks into each grading period for students. Criteria:
    • Any student who is failing or in danger of failing
    • Any student who is working far below their academic capacity
    • Any student for who teacher chooses to provide a grade
  • Deficiency notices shall not be construed as the grade for the grading period.
  • All students receive quarter grades - very important for the office to verify that each teacher has submitted grades. 
  • Middle school students earn an Overall GPA (4.00 gpa scale).
  • High School students earn an Overall Weighted GPA (5.00 gpa scale). Honor and AP courses earn an extra point when a student receives a letter grade between A+ and C-.
Setting Up Your School's Grading Period Window
  • Elementary principals have access to set the grading period for their own schools or can submit a HELP Desk ticket for IT to enter them in Zangle Web Admin.
  • Secondary sites submit a HELP Desk ticket. These grading windows define when student report cards are made available for teachers to enter grades in TeacherConnect, and when grades are viewable via ParentConnect and StudentConnect.
  • Some sites prefer to submit one Help Desk ticket and list the dates for all grading windows in order for teachers to submit grades. Other sites prefer to submit a ticket a week prior grading term begins.
  • By default, viewing access for ParentConnect and StudentConnect is the day after the grading window is closed. If you wish for it to be different, please enter in the HELP Desk ticket the date you prefer report card grades to be viewable.
Other Interesting Facts
  • Only trimester grades, semester 1, semester 2, and summer school grades are  posted in Academic History.
  • All report cards (K-12) are generated from Zangle Archive.
  • Transcripts (secondary students only) are generated from Zangle Production.
  • Click on the links to download 'Secondary' or 'Elementary' report card procedures.
  • After verifying that all your teachers have posted their grades, please submit a HELP Desk ticket to have your report cards printed. Report cards are processed and printed in the order they are submitted.
