Automatic E-Class Record for Grades 2–3
Three-Term School Calendar | School Year 2026–2027
The Automatic E-Class Record for Grades 2 and 3 is prepared to help teachers record, compute, organize, and monitor learners’ grades under the revised classroom assessment and grading system for School Year 2026–2027.
This updated electronic class record follows the relevant provisions of DepEd Order No. 015, s. 2026, titled Revised Guidelines on Classroom Assessment, Grading System, and Awards and Recognition for the K to 12 Basic Education Program.
The policy introduces important changes in the manner by which learners’ performance is assessed, computed, interpreted, and reported across the different key stages of basic education.
Grading System for Grades 2 and 3 in SY 2026–2027
Although Kindergarten to Grade 3 belongs to Key Stage 1, the implementation of descriptive grading will be introduced gradually.
For School Year 2026–2027, Grade 1 will use descriptive grading, while Grades 2 and 3 will continue using numerical grades with the adjusted transmutation table.
This transitional arrangement allows schools and teachers to move gradually from the previous grading system toward the fully descriptive assessment system intended for Key Stage 1.
| School Year | Grade 2 | Grade 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 2026–2027 | Numerical grading with adjusted transmutation | Numerical grading with adjusted transmutation |
| 2027–2028 | Descriptive grading | Numerical, zero-based grading |
| 2028–2029 | Descriptive grading | Descriptive grading |
Therefore, the Grades 2–3 E-Class Record for SY 2026–2027 is specifically designed for the current transitional arrangement. It should not automatically be reused in succeeding school years without first checking the applicable DepEd guidelines.
Numerical Grades with Qualitative Descriptors
Under the revised system, a numerical grade should be accompanied by a qualitative descriptor that communicates the learner’s level of competency more clearly.
The descriptors help teachers and parents understand not only the learner’s numerical result but also the type of instructional support, remediation, guided practice, or enrichment that may be needed.
| Numerical Grade | Qualitative Descriptor | General Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| 90–100 | Advancing – Namumukod-tangi | The learner consistently demonstrates skills and understanding that meet or exceed the expected standards. |
| 80–89 | Benchmarking – Napamamalas | The learner demonstrates the expected grade-level competencies accurately and independently. |
| 75–79 | Connecting – Natutungo | The learner demonstrates sufficient understanding but may occasionally need guidance and additional practice. |
| 65–74 | Developing – Napauunlad | The learner demonstrates partial understanding and requires targeted remediation and scaffolded instruction. |
| 0–64 | Emerging – Nagsisimula | The learner has not yet sufficiently demonstrated the foundational competencies and requires structured and sustained intervention. |
A Final Grade of 75 or higher indicates that the learner has met the minimum learning standards. A grade below 75 signals the need for appropriate intervention, remediation, and academic support.
Assessment Components
DepEd Order No. 015, s. 2026 identifies three principal summative assessment components:
Written or Oral Works
Written or Oral Works measure knowledge, understanding, communication, and other competencies demonstrated through written or spoken responses.
Product or Performance Tasks
Product or Performance Tasks assess the learner’s ability to apply knowledge and skills through authentic outputs, demonstrations, projects, presentations, investigations, and similar activities.
Examinations
Examinations measure the competencies developed within a particular instructional period. These may include Summative Tests and the Term Examination.
Assessment Weights for Makabansa in Grades 2 and 3
| Assessment Component | Weight |
|---|---|
| Written or Oral Works | 20% |
| Product or Performance Tasks | 50% |
| Examinations | 30% |
Other learning areas must follow the applicable assessment weights prescribed under the order and any additional instructions issued by the Department of Education, regional office, schools division office, or school administration.
Where the Examinations component applies, its internal distribution is as follows:
| Examination | Share Within the Examinations Component |
|---|---|
| Summative Test 1 | 30% |
| Summative Test 2 | 30% |
| Term Examination | 40% |
These percentages are applied within the total weight assigned to the Examinations component. They are not applied directly to the learner’s overall grade.
Automatic Grade Computation
The Automatic E-Class Record reduces the need for repetitive manual calculations. Teachers enter the required learner information, highest possible scores, and individual scores, while the spreadsheet processes the necessary computations.
1. Recording of Raw Scores
The teacher records the actual scores obtained by each learner in Written or Oral Works, Product or Performance Tasks, Summative Tests, and the Term Examination.
2. Computation of Percentage Scores
The raw score is divided by the highest possible score and multiplied by 100.
3. Computation of Weighted Scores
The Percentage Score is multiplied by the prescribed weight of the assessment component.
4. Computation of the Initial Grade
The weighted scores from all assessment components are added to obtain the learner’s Initial Grade for the term.
5. Application of the Adjusted Transmutation Table
For SY 2026–2027, the Initial Grade is converted into a Term Grade using the adjusted transmutation table.
Under the adjusted table, an Initial Grade ranging from 70.00 to 71.17 is transmuted to the minimum passing grade of 75. Initial Grades below 70 are converted to grades ranging from 60 to 74, with 60 serving as the minimum reportable grade.
6. Assignment of the Qualitative Descriptor
After the numerical grade has been determined, the corresponding descriptor—Advancing, Benchmarking, Connecting, Developing, or Emerging—is automatically reflected.
7. Computation of the Final Grade
The Final Grade in each learning area is obtained by averaging the learner’s Term Grades and rounding the result to the nearest whole number.
Under the three-term school calendar, the file is designed to consolidate the grades from Term 1, Term 2, and Term 3.
Advantages of Using the Automatic E-Class Record
The file can help teachers save time by minimizing manual computation and reducing common errors involving percentages, component weights, transmutation, rounding, and averaging.
It also provides a more organized record of learner performance throughout the three terms. Because numerical results are paired with qualitative descriptors, teachers can more easily identify learners who may require enrichment, guided practice, remediation, or sustained intervention.
The E-Class Record may also support the preparation of:
- Progress reports
- Grade summaries
- Intervention and remediation plans
- Parent-teacher conferences
- Learner performance monitoring reports
- Other school reports requiring accurate assessment data
More Than a Grade-Computing Tool
Classroom assessment should not be treated merely as a process of collecting and computing scores. DepEd Order No. 015, s. 2026 emphasizes that assessment evidence must be used to improve teaching, provide meaningful feedback, identify learning gaps, and determine the appropriate support for each learner.
A learner classified as Developing or Emerging should not simply be given a low grade. The assessment result must guide the teacher in planning remediation, scaffolded activities, differentiated instruction, additional practice, and other appropriate interventions.
Learners classified as Benchmarking or Advancing may be provided with enrichment activities, leadership opportunities, more challenging tasks, and opportunities to apply their learning in new situations.
Important Reminders for Teachers
Teachers should carefully check the following before submitting or printing any class record:
- Names of learners
- Learning areas and assessment components
- Highest possible scores
- Encoded learner scores
- Assessment component weights
- Spreadsheet formulas
- Transmuted grades
- Qualitative descriptors
- Term Grades and Final Grades
Automatically generated results must be supported by valid assessment evidence, such as test papers, performance-task rubrics, learner outputs, scoring sheets, observation records, and other relevant documents.
Complete and accurate class records may be reviewed or validated by school heads and instructional supervisors to ensure transparency, consistency, and accountability.
Teachers should also maintain a backup copy of the E-Class Record in a secure storage location. They are advised not to rename worksheets, delete protected cells, change formulas, or alter prescribed component weights unless officially instructed to do so.
Disclaimer: This Automatic Grade 3 E-Class Record is a supplementary teacher-made resource and is not an official DepEd-issued electronic class record. Although it is prepared with reference to DepEd Order No. 015, s. 2026, teachers are advised to validate its formulas and contents and follow any additional instructions issued by DepEd, their Schools Division Office, or school administration.
