How to indicate the promoted grade level within a report card
 
Many report cards can be configured to provide student promotion/retention status. By default, this is often already enabled and visible as a Final Term section in the report card. If your report card does not show this section by default, you may be able to enable it.
 
Working with the Promotion/Retention Option - Setting up the promoted Grade

  1. Click on the Report Card link within the grade group
  2. Click on Settings in the upper right-hand corner
