Grades, Logs, and Year-End Records
The Gradebook, report cards, Learning Records, reading hours, and the printable year view.
Trellis's promise is that record-keeping does itself: every checked-off lesson becomes a Learning Records entry, and every graded score feeds the gradebook. Your job is just to tell it what counts.
Step 1: choose what counts toward grades
Not everything should be graded; copywork isn't a quiz. Trellis calls this choice Graded? in the Gradebook's All Assignments table and Include in grades on assignment forms and in the Calendar drawer. Work counts only when that choice is on:
- At import time, quizzes and tests arrive pre-checked (change any of it on the review screen)
- In the Gradebook's All Assignments tab, tick rows individually. You can also use Mark unfinished quizzes & tests graded to include the visible unfinished tests in one click
- From the calendar, any assignment card's drawer has an Include in grades checkbox
Step 2: enter scores
The Gradebook's Score Work tab lists graded work still waiting for points. Type Pts Possible and Pts Earned and the percent and letter appear instantly. Click Not graded if that one shouldn't count after all.
Reading the gradebook
The Overview tab shows the overall average, scoring progress, missing-score count, how many assignments are included in grades, and per-subject cards with letter grades. Work without a date appears in a separate Not Scheduled Yet notice when there is any. Filter by child, school year, and Term (semesters or quarters). The letter grades follow your own scale; edit it in the Default Grading Scale card in Settings.
Print a report card
The Report Card tab builds a printable card per child and term. It shows each subject's graded work, average, and letter grade, with a spot for your own Parent notes. Click Print Report Card and use your browser's "Save as PDF" to file it.
Learning Records write themselves
Every completed assignment automatically becomes an entry in Learning Records, grouped by subject with its estimated hours. Add the rest by hand:
- Add Learning Entry covers museum trips, nature walks, and life skills. Check every child who took part and one entry logs for all of them
- Add Reading Entry turns pages read into estimated hours. Pick a reading pace and Trellis does the math, plus keeps a books-and-pages tally for the year
- The Overview tab adds up subject progress, learning hours, books, and pages for the selected year
The year, on one page
Open Family › Year at a Glance for a printable month-by-month grid. It shows days with work planned, time off, school-day counts, and per-subject totals for the whole year. When the state, a co-op, or an evaluator asks what your year looked like, click Print PDF and it's done.
