PCSD Telephone Issues And Emergency Contact Numbers 5 15 2025
The PCSD is currently experiencing telephone issues which are affecting all of our schools and administrative building.
This is creating intermittent problems with all of our phone lines. Our tech department is diligently working with our engineers and the telephone company on correcting the problems. Unfortunately, we do not know how long these issues will last.
If you need to contact any of the schools, please use the emergency numbers provided:
PHS: 608-617-0366
BMS: 608-617-3541
John Muir: 608-697-3428
Endeavor: 608-697-3949
Lewiston: 608-617-0741
Woodridge: 608-697-3330
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Standard Level Calculations
The first step in grade calculations is calculating the overall standard proficiency level using a decaying average. Decaying average allows us to place the highest weight on the most recent evidence of learning. This is done for each standard taught in the course.
PHS Standards Based Grade Calculations
Infinite Campus uses a series of calculations to generate the final grade
at the high school.

Summary
Infinite Campus uses two grade calculations to generate a final course score.
First, individual standard scores are calculated by applying a decaying average to the assessments scored for that standard. This is a growth-based strategy that places the highest weight on the most recent evidence.
Second, Infinite Campus averages all standard scores for a course together to get the final course grade.
Finding the Rubric Value for Each Assessment
Find the sum of the final rubric score values. Find the sum of the weights. Find the quotient of the rubric score sum divided by the weight sum. In this example, the decaying average for this standard is 90.1.
Take the decaying average for that standard and find the overall standard proficiency level using this scale. In this example, the decaying average of 90.1 gives us a Proficient Level for this standard.
IMPORTANT: We use standard scores in the course grade level calculations. Convert all standard proficency levels to rubric scores. Find the average of standard rubric scores and use the letter grade scale to determine the letter grade for the course. In this example, the average of all standards is 88 and would be a B+.

IMPORTANT: we use assessment scores in the standard level calculations. First, find the rubric value for the proficiency level. Then find the product of the (rubric value x the weight) to find the final rubric score value.

Grade Calculation Videos
Video: Grade book Overview
Don't have time to watch? Here is a quick summary: This video shows the elements of a grade book from a teacher's perspective and points out critical information to consider.
Video 2: Standard proficiency level calculations using decaying average in Infinite campus
Don't have time to watch? Here is a quick summary: This video shows how all assessment scores for a standard are applied to a decaying average calculation to achieve the final standard proficiency level. Most recent evidence has the highest weight. The weights are as follows: Most Recent Assessment: 100%, 65%, 42%, 27.5%,18%, 12%, 7.5%, ....First Assessment.
Video 3: Course Grade Calculations
*** BMS grade calculations will be an overall proficiency level for the course rather than a percentage and letter grade as shown in this video*****
Don't have time to watch? Here is a quick summary: This video shows how all the separate standards in a course are used to calculate the overall grade using a simple mean or average.
Video 4: How to Improve a Grade
Don't have time to watch? Here is a quick summary: This video shows what to look for at the standard level for targeted grade improvement. * Look for the lowest standard score. * Ask the teacher what you can do to show you know it at a deeper level. It then provides an example of what happens to the score if an additional piece of evidence with a higher proficiency is added to the grade book.
