Grades Panel

The order of these codes should reflect the order that students typically progress through grades. To reorder a code, click the tab to the left of the Code and drag to the desired location.

Field	Description
Next Grade	The next grade for students. You can set up the Registration Year-End Rollover to set the next grade fields for students who are rolled forward. Also, when you enroll a student, the student's next grade value will default to the next grade specified for the student's current grade.
Years To Graduation	Number of years to graduation for students in this grade. For example, for grade 11, use 1. When you add a student, the student's graduation year is defaulted based on the student's grade. The current school year and the Years To Graduation value are used to determine the year to default.
State Equivalency Code	Enter the state-defined code that corresponds to the Grade code. This value allows the system to convert district-defined grade codes to state-defined codes.
Federal Equivalency Code	Enter the federal code that corresponds to the Grade code. This value allows the system to convert district-defined grade codes to federal grade codes for reports such as the OCR Civil Rights Data Collection.
SIF Code	Code identifying the Grade List record based on Version 1 of the SIF Implementation Specification. This specification is established by the SIF Association to facilitate sharing of primary and secondary school data among school districts, state departments of education, software vendors, and other relevant agencies. Character/2
SIF 2 Code	Code identifying the Grade List record based on Version 2 of the SIF Implementation Specification. This specification is established by the SIF Association to facilitate sharing of primary and secondary school data among school districts, state departments of education, software vendors, and other relevant agencies. Character/7
PESC Code	Select the corresponding grade code developed by the Postsecondary Electronic Standards Council (PESC).
CEDS Code	Select the corresponding grade code developed by the Common Education Data Standards (CEDS). This value is used when transmitting data via the One Roster standard.
Label for Graduation Plan	Student Career Planner description associated with the grade level. Character/255
Active	Checked if the code should be available when a user modifies a record. If your district requirements change and you no longer want users to use a grade code, remove the checkmark from the Active checkbox. Users will no longer be able to select the code when maintaining records. The code cannot be used in records for the current year or future years, but it is still stored for prior year records.
