Grade Promotion

Administrators can include a student's promotion status on the student's report card in order to indicate if the student advances to the next grade level or is retained in the previous grade level. This article will review how that is determined, who can make those changes, and how they appear on the report card.

1. How to indicate that a student is promoted or retained
   1. By default, each student's status is "promoted." So, if there are no students retained, you will not need to make any changes.
   2. If there are any students that will be retained, you would go to the student's profile>Student Information>Grade Level Promotion, and change "Promoted" to "Retained," then Save.
