GATS Verification Update

• Effective immediately, teachers will no longer
  verify grades for progress reports at the 3rd and
  6th week of each marking period.
• The principal or designee will verify the school
  immediately prior to the generation of progress
  reports.
• The principal or designee will clear
  verifications as soon as progress reports have
  been successfully printed and saved.
• This change in procedure will minimize any
  interruptions to teachers access to their
  gradebooks during the grading cycle.
• Teacher and school verifications will continue
  for 9-week report card processing.  Teacher
  verifications serve two purposes  to confirm
  that all gradebook entries are complete for the
  grading cycle and to preserve the integrity of
  cycle and semester grades, comments, and
  citizenship grades during the report card process.
