We are excited to announce a new feature that enables you to include aggregate scores and grades across subjects in students’ progress reports. Let’s dive into the details! We have used the DP curriculum as an example but the feature works the same for all the curriculums.

This article will cover:

As an admin, you can configure which subjects to include for score and grade aggregation for each grading period, based on the curriculum. You can also manage calculation settings, such as the number of decimal places and whether scores are truncated or rounded off.

To begin, select the preferred curriculum from the admin portal and navigate to ‘Grading setup’ within ‘Academic setup’. Here, click on the ‘Score and grade aggregation’ tab in the left pane.

At the top, you will find a toggle for calculating aggregate scores. Ensure this is enabled to start configuring the aggregation of scores and IB grades.

Next, click the gear icon for each evaluation criterion to manage its calculation settings.

💡 Note that the IB grade is displayed only for MYP and DP curriculums.

Here, you can configure the settings individually for ‘Total’ and ‘Average’ calculations. Choose the number of decimal values to be shown and whether you want to round the scores (based on traditional rounding methods) or truncate them (cutting off decimal points without rounding).

Now, click the arrow icon for each evaluation criterion to select the subjects to be included in its aggregation.

On the landing page, you will see all grades for the current curriculum in the left pane, and the grading periods with a list of subjects on the right. Select a grade from the left pane, then click 'Edit' to choose whether to calculate the Total, Average, or both for the aggregation, for each grading period.

After selecting the aggregation type, choose the subjects to be included in the aggregation. If you don't want a subject to be included, leave it unchecked. A subject can either be included in both the Total and Average calculations or excluded from both.

Additionally, you can click on the three-dot menu against a grading period to bulk apply the same configuration to other grading periods for that particular grade. Once done, click ‘Save’ to finalise the configuration.

Once the aggregation setting is configured for a curriculum, you will find a new setting within the Progress report template as highlighted below. Click on the arrow icon next to the ‘Score and grade aggregation settings’ in the template configuration.

A modal will appear, reminding you that aggregates must be configured in the Academic setup and will only be visible for the grades and grading periods where the settings have been enabled. If you haven't configured aggregation yet, complete it before proceeding.

Next, you can toggle the settings to show/hide aggregates for the chosen evaluation criteria (scores or IB grades).

Once enabled, the aggregates will appear in the Progress summary section of the progress report, taking into account the scores and grades of subjects selected under ‘Score and grade aggregation’ setup under ‘Academic setup’.

Please note that any score or grade marked with a ‘•’ will be excluded from the aggregation. This indicates that the corresponding subject has not been selected for aggregation in the Academic setup.

The aggregated scores and grades will be displayed in the downloaded reports as well. Any subject with a greyed-out score marked with a ‘•’ is excluded from the aggregation, as shown below.

Aggregating scores help educators, students and families get a quick snapshot of the student’s performance by viewing a consolidated score that reflects progress across subjects.

That's all for now. We will continue to innovate and improve to make your Toddle experience better each day!
