Teachers can manually assign special codes as final course grades. However, they are never calculated to as a final grade. Special codes can also be made available for use on assignments, and act as district pre-calculated Gradebook Score Codes for the teacher.
Final Grade Example:
A teacher manually assigns 'Incomplete' for a final grade, but assignment scores never calculate into Incomplete.
Assignment Example:
A teacher gives an assignment score code of 'ABS' to indicate that the student was absent.
Teachers see special codes in the grade drawer by selecting the codes button. The teacher will then see that the grade has been over written by the triangle in the corner of the grade.
