NSO Grade and Progress Reporting

Key information for students, parents and counselors

Tracking student progress is a very important part of support from the school and home. A variety of information can be found in the Genius system. The grades and data are explained on the following pages:

Progress indicators: updated each week to give an overall view of student status

Final grades: entered when students reach their end date or complete the work to earn a credit.

Extensions and Incompletes: offered if students need more time to finish a credit

Withdrawal process: process for students being dropped or voluntarily withdrawn from a course

For a comprehensive view of the screens in Genius and a description of the indicators, please see Progress Information in Genius.
