It also creates rows in the database that will store marks, comments and learning skills. Once achievement records have been generated, teachers will have access to their students/subjects in Trillium Web Elementary Achievement (TWEA), provided the Mark Entry End Date is set to a date in the future. VERY IMPORTANT: Prior to opening TWEA to teachers (i.e. Mark Entry End Date) run the following two (2) reports: 1. Achievement Validation (Elementary): Provides a listing of students that are missing mandatory subject(s); active and inactive students enrolled less or more than 42 days but have no achievement; subject grade is different from student’s enrolment grade; students with duplicate subjects. 2. Elementary Achievement Matrix Report: Used to verify the subjects assigned to teachers, and displays all classes for all grades and the First and Second Teachers.
