Only One Grading Task Needs to be Marked State Reported for Final Grade
PATH: Grading & Standards > Grading Tasks > State Reported
For Grading Tasks to be included in both SCS and SIF for a term of 01 for full year when a class meets all terms (T1, T2, T3), the class should only have one grading task that is marked State Reported if only the Final grade is being reported (Image 3). The grading task does not need to have the Final checkbox marked.

Final Standards Need to be Created
PATH: Grading & Standards > Standards Bank > Final
In order for a final standard to report, you will need to have a standard created that is "final" such as "01MA1A: MATH EFFORT FINAL" seen in the image below (Image 4). This "final" standard is created in order for SIF to report a full year mark for courses that meet all terms in the school year.
This final standard is in addition to the State Reported standards that are reported for SCS. This "final" standard should have the Final checkbox marked and should NOT have the State Reported checkbox marked.
For example, SIF will report StudentSectionMarks records for Term 1, Term 2, Term 3 for the State Reported standards and then a Full Year record for the Final standard.
