Course, Year and Section
Name of FS Mentor
Date At the end of this learning activity, the FS students should be able to:
1. identify the school forms, its purpose and uses;
2. download and fill-out sample DepEd school forms; and
3. do sample computation of grades using the DepEd assessment criteria.

The K-12 Grading System, Electronic Class Record Templates, and DepEd Forms
. The K to 12 Basic Education Program uses standards- and competency-based grading system. When we say
grading system we mean a system that educators use in a particular institution to evaluate each individual student’s
performance and learning. Grading can include letter grades, percentages and even a simple pass/fail. Grades can be
attached to physical activities like writing assignments, lab work, projects, reports and tests. In DepEd, all grades are
based on the weighted raw scores of the learners summative assessments. These summative assessment can be
classified into three components, namely, written works (WW), performance task (PT), and quarterly assessment These
three will be the bases for grading. The nature of the learning area defines the way these three components are
assessed.
For Kindergarten, checklist and anecdotal records are used instead of numerical grades. These are based on
learning standards found in the Kindergarten curriculum guide. For grades 1 to 12, numerical grades are used. The
minimum grade needed to pass a specific learner’s area is 60, which is transmuted to 75 in the report card. The lowest
rank mark that can appear on the report card is 60 for quarterly grades and final grades.
Teachers in the Basic Education implementing the K to 12 program uses electronic class record in excel format
to facilitate high level of accuracy in the computation of the learners grade. Each learning area has its specific e-class
record. Aside from these, different DepEd forms are accomplished at varied time within a school year.
In this activity, FS 2 students will be exposed to various DepEd forms and e-class records. They will be given
opportunities to examine and accomplish different forms, compute quarterly grades and final grades, and accomplish e-
class records aligned with their specialization.
