When standardized tests are administered, record the test scores on the cumulative folder in the designated spaces. Begin recording elementary results on the inside of the folder continuing on the outside for subsequent grade levels allowing for efficient use of space. If space is insufficient, a school district may adopt and use an additional form for recording test scores. (Also see Part L regarding additional form if needed for recording data.)

To complete the cumulative folder, record the year, number of days school is in session, the grade level in which the student is enrolled, and grades assigned to the student in the various subjects. The area designated for passing marks should be completed (e.g., Satisfactory (S), Unsatisfactory (U), 1-100, A-F). If the student transfers before the end of the semester, the grades should not be entered, but a written evaluation of the student's work, or report card, should be placed in the cumulative folder.
The subjects listed on the far left of the cumulative folder are designated for pre-kindergarten and kindergarten. (Record pre-kindergarten if applicable.) The subjects listed to the left of the first grade column pertain to the remaining elementary grades. Record student's grades starting with first grade in the spaces to the right of the subject's column. Continue recording grades in this section through the sixth grade.
Special codes, such as grade level (GL), below grade level (BGL), etc., may be used for the gifted, special education, etc. Promotion shall be indicated (with yes or no); the name of the teacher responsible for completing the cumulative folder shall be indicated; and the name of the school at the end of the school year shall be recorded.
Record the date, grade level, current age, and name of counselor, principal or teacher making the entry. Only documented information should be recorded. Expulsion shall be documented. Record the date of expulsion and description of the behavior or act resulting in the expulsion. Any additional information concerning disciplinary action should be based on local district policy. [MS Code 37-15-6] (See Part L regarding additional form if needed for recording data.)
This information must be obtained from the parent(s) at the time the student enrolls. Immunization Certificate of Compliance is issued by the local health officers or physicians on forms specified by the Mississippi State Board of Health. These forms shall be the only acceptable means for showing compliance. The appropriate school official shall write the date of immunization compliance on the cumulative folder, initial verification, and file the certificate in the student's cumulative folder. If the temporary certificate of compliance is received, record no data. It is the parent's responsibility to secure and present the permanent certificate of compliance according to the date designated on the temporary certificate. Compliance certificates for pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students will be the same as those for six-year-old students. [MS Code 41-23-37]
This information should be obtained from the parents at the time the student enrolls and should be kept current.
Subjects for each grade level should be listed. This also includes courses a student takes through distance learning, correspondence, or a virtual school program for Carnegie unit credit. Once a student remains enrolled in a course following the drop/add period, the student will receive a grade for the course. Courses dropped after the course withdrawal deadline will still appear on the student's official transcript.
Record name of school, grade level, year, number of days in school session, subjects, teachers, semester grades, year average, and credit earned when courses have been completed. If a student transfers before the end of the semester, the grades should not be entered, but a written evaluation of the student's work or a report card should be included in the cumulative folder.
If a student demonstrates proficiency in Keyboarding and/or Computer Applications, student demonstrated proficiency must be recorded on the secondary portion of the cumulative folder. (See the current guidelines for demonstrating proficiency.) In the column indicating the amount of credit earned, record the letter "P" for proficiency.
If a student attends summer school or takes a correspondence course, record date, school, subjects and grades in the summer school (S.S.) section.
L Additional Form for Recording Data
Information should be carefully placed on the cumulative folder to maximize the space. If space is insufficient for recording entrance/withdrawal/transfer data, test data, and/or significant facts, the district may use the additional form for recording data or a page of heavy card stock that is properly labeled. This form/page should be added to the student's cumulative folder only when space on the folder is insufficient.
