Using the Print Manager for Ontario Report Cards (Grades 1 - 8)

Maplewood has provided a convenient easy to use Print Manager to help you set up and print the Ontario Provincial Report Card.

  1. Choose Marks, Print Report Cards, Ontario Provincial Report Cards (Grades 1-8). You will see this screen:

 

  1. Select the required Reporting Information: Term and End of Reporting Period, and Include Self Assessment Form if applicable.
  2. In the Settings frame you will need to specify the Report Date and Page(s). Below, click Previously Printed only to print cards for students not previously printed and Include Decimals to print numeric values not rounded up, e.g. 79.54. There also is the option to specify page breaks, print the principal's full name, include the student' usual name and not print the summary page.
  3. Next, click the Select button and specify what students to print. Select the First and or Last student in list checkbox, or click the Select button to specify start and end students. Also be sure to specify the types of registered students.
  4. Select the Print Order. Note: When you print by Homeroom, Advisor Group or Grade, there is an option for a age Break. This will print a separator page between the items selected for printing (Homeroom, Advisor Group or Grade). This page acts as a header page and can be used by school staff to more easily sort the report cards for distribution.
  5. View first or Print the Report Cards.

The Ontario Provincial Report Card will now include a printout at the end of printing that indicates if there are any students with potentially incorrect credit breakdowns, due to duplicate codes in the codes file. If you have someone report that the credit totals are out on the final page, there should be a printout at the end of the print job that indicates the students name, and the code that is duplicated. Making the code unique in the codes file will correct the credit breakdown.

The Ontario Report Card program for Elementary schools also has a checkbox to "Include Self Assessment Form". When this checkbox is checked, the program will print this form according to the format requested by ministry.

Final Report

When you run a Final Report Card (select Final from the Report Period drop-down list), the program will generate a Duplicate Codes Found message, should the code file have duplicate codes that are in students' transcript, and a message of "Please refer to the last page for more information!".

The Preview of the report cards will have a command button, LAST, so that you can quickly access the last page.
The last page, titled Invalid Credit Calculation, will report all students who are affected and the course code(s) that is a duplicate code in the codes table.
