Student Section Marks | PowerSchool SIS Compliance

This object contains the marks entered for a student in a class section for a specific marking period.This resource can be published for Charter Schools (using the Sub-Districts feature) from Grades in the SIF Unity Framework.

StudentSectionMarks records are published for each section enrollment for a student within the school year for which the agent is configured. StudentSectionMarks are based on the CC records for a student. If there are grades stored in the StoredGrades table, StudentSectionMarks uses these grades to determine some of the values.

When retrieving grades from the StoredGrades table, the agent first finds the term related to the Section that the student is enrolled in and then will use the final store code associated to the term ([S_MA_TRM_X] Store_Code) to find the final grade expected for that section. If a final store code is not found, Y1 is used as a default.

C	Based Upon: [S_MA_CC_SCS_X]OverrideCourseEnrollStatus Grade Scale Mapper	SCS12	The following is the logical order in which the agent processes this value: If the section enrollment has been dropped or the [S_MA_CC_SCS_X] OverrideCourseEnrollStatus has been set to Withdrawn, then 21 is sent. If [S_MA_CC_SCS_X] OverrideCourseEnrollStatus has been set to Incomplete, then 40 is sent. If class is currently in session or [S_MA_CC_SCS_X] OverrideCourseEnrollStatus has been set to Enrolled or there is no grade stored, then 88 is sent. If either the Course, Section or Stored Grade have the Ungraded box checked, then 66 is sent. If either the Course, Section or Stored Grade have the Mark Not Required box checked, then 55 is sent. If [S_MA_CC_SCS_X] OverrideCourseEnrollStatus has been set to Audited, then 77 is sent. If there is a state mapped code to the grade, then the code is sent. If there is no state mapped code, but there is a percentage value, then 99 is sent.
MarkList/Mark/Percentage	The percent score for this mark (0.00 - 100.00).	C	Based upon: [StoredGrades]Percentage [StoredGrades]NoPercent [S_MA_SEC_X]NoPercent [S_MA_CRS_X]NoPercent	SCS13	If either the Course, Section or Stored Grade have the NoPercent checkbox selected, then this will be null. If the value is > 100, then 100 will be sent. Otherwise, the value is rounded to the nearest whole number.
