Does your school share progress reports or report cards that are created in Otus? If so, read on to learn about how Otus report cards are structured and what might be included.

❗ Please note: The content and appearance of a report card will vary depending on the selections and grading systems used at your child's school. The examples in this article are intended to be used as a reference only.

General Information

At the top of the report card you will see your student's name, the report card title, the school name, your child's ID, and the date range of the report card.
Classes
- Grades are listed separately for each class
- Classes are listed on the report card in alpha-numeric order
Depending on your school's grading system, your student's report card could include points (percentage) grades, standards grades, or both. If both are included, then the points score will be listed first, with the standards grades for the same class listed below.

Assessment Grades (Points)

If your school does not use a points/percentage grading system, you can skip!

The following elements may be present for a class that uses a points grading scale:

1 - Class name
2 - Teacher's last name
3 - Attendance details (optional)
4 - Total class grade percentage
5 - Total class grade conversion derived from #4

If assessment details are included, they will show the following columns:

Assessment Name - Title of the assessment
Type - Assessment category
Submitted - Date the assessment was submitted by the student
Points - How many points the student earned out of the total point value for the assessment
Percent - Assessment score calculated as a percentage

Standards Grades

The following elements may be present for a class that uses a standards-based grading scale:

1 - Grading Scale Key (optional)
2 - Class name
3 - Teacher's last name
4 - Attendance details (optional)
5 - Name of the standards scale used for the report card
6 - Mastery Setting
7 - Total class grade conversion

💡 Tip: For questions about the standards scale(s) or mastery setting calculation being used, please check with your child's school.

Standards grades are listed by class. You will typically see multiple standards listed for each class. Let's take a look at the standard indicated with the red box below:

On the left is the name and description of the standard
- Example: 7.RC.5 Analyze the development of two or more central ideas over the course of a text; provide a detailed, objective summary of the text.
To the right of the description, you will see a progress/status bar and a term describing the student's current performance level. This may be in color or black and white.
- The bar indicates which segment the student falls into based on the performance levels in the standards grading scale. In the example above, there are 4 levels:
  - Not at Mastery, Approaching Mastery, Near Mastery, and Mastery.
- In the example, the student is showing Approaching Mastery, so 1/2 of the bar is filled in.
