A new query has been created in Zangle to help support elementary schools with their report cards.  It's located in Mark Reporting / Reports / Query Writer - Marks and the name of the view is 'Active Elementary Term GPA'.  This view will allow staff in the elementary sites to generate reports to view their students' trimester GPA's for the current school year. 

Also included in this week's blog is a How-To tutorial on how to use the Query Writer Excel feature to generate a report that will average a student's GPA.   With the release of this new view, it gives us the perfect opportunity to show you the many functions the Query Writer has to support your everyday needs.  We've had a few phone calls of users asking how they can generate a list where it displays  a cumulative GPA of Trimester 1 and Trimester 2 in order to determine their Honor Roll students.  Well, by using Excel as the Query Output and using the Subtotals function in Excel, creating a list of your students GPA can be done in matter of minutes versus hand calculating each student's average GPA. 

We encourage ALL to view this tutorial, so that you understand the steps in generating a list with 'Average' totals.  It will teach you the fundamental skills in generating your own reports in any of the Query Writer views.
