Generating & Printing Synergy Report Cards
Entering Grades
There are two ways to fill in report card grades. Grades can be entered in the report card matrix, or report cards for individual students can be pulled up for grading.
Transferring Student Marks
Grades calculated in Synergy Grade Book can be transferred to the report card if Report Card Correlations were checked for each assignment.
- Open Synergy and click to open the grade book.
- Hover over Grade Book and choose Report Card Preview.
- Click on Transfer All Student Marks to get all grades from linked classes and special area classes who use the grade book to transfer directly onto the report card.

To finish entering grades:
- Hover over Report Card and choose either Report Card Matrix or Students to finish entering grades.
- Be sure to Save after you make changes.
- To view and print your report cards, hover over Report Card and choose Students.
Report Card Grades - Matrix Entry Mode
Using the Report Card Matrix is a quick and easy way for a classroom teacher who does not use the grade book to enter grades as well as grades for PE, Art, and Music teachers who do not use the grade book.
Hover over Report Card and choose Report Card Matrix.

Use the pull-down menu to choose the report card area. 

In this example, the Behavior categories are shown. Use the drop-down menu to choose the performance indicator. Use the green "fill-down" arrow to help speed up the process.

Click Save Scores to save the scores put in for these areas or Undo. Saved grades will then appear on the individual student's report card.

Other subject areas can be done this same way.
Entering Grades on the Report Card
Entering grades can be done by opening each student's report card and entering grades for each subject.
Hover over Report Card and click on Students.

Select a student from the Report Cards Not Complete list.

If you use the grade book to calculate grades, you will see that your correlated grades have filled in many of the report card areas.

Check all areas and use the drop-down menus. Fill in the cells for both the main subject category grade and the performance indicators for any missing grades.
Use the green arrow to "fill down" if applicable.
Add Comments to the Report Card
