### 4.7.8 StudentGrade

This is an object that a LMS or other application will utilize to provide grades about students in a section to a grade book. A grade book is often used to collect various assignment scores or test scores for students in a class or section and then calculate various grades or marks that are printed on report cards. When a LMS is also being used in a LEA, additional information is gathered by the LMS and some of this information needs to be available to the grade book to facilitate calculation of the report card grades or marks (i.e. StudentSectionMarks). This object is available to facilitate communication of the final grade from the LMS to the grade book.

SIF_Events are reported for this object.

### 4.7.9 StudentPeriodAttendance

This object provides attendance for a student in the context of a SectionInfo object. This object is used by all agents in a zone that provide period attendance, but don't have the logic to determine whether or not they have sufficient rights to override attendance from another user or system. Agents that represent a system that can validate attendance based on, among other things, its source, should subscribe to StudentPeriodAttendance events to collect "suggested" attendance changes from the zone, and should then publish "accepted" attendance changes as OfficialStudentPeriodAttendance events. A rejected change would result in an event that reverts the system that generated the rejected event back to its previous state or to some other state that represents the correct "official" attendance.

SIF_Events are reported for this object.
