The term will not release: reading the pre-flight check

Blockers stop a release and warnings only need a tick. What each one means and the screen that clears it.

One answer, with what teachers ask next on the same screen underneath it.

  • Say whether it helped at the bottom of the article. That is the only way we learn it is wrong.
  • Anything in a green box is what the DepEd order says; anything in amber is where teachers get caught.

Where to look

Open the class → Release cards → pick the term. The Before you release card lists everything that would make a card wrong. Red is a Blocker and stops the release. Amber is a Warning you can release past. Every item carries a link to the screen that clears it.

Blockers, and what clears each

  • No learners on the roster. Nobody to release a card to. Add them under Learners.
  • No subjects yet. A report card needs at least one learning area. Add them under Learning areas.
  • "{Subject}: no activities in {term}." Nothing has been encoded for that subject this term.
  • "{Component} has no activities." The component carries a share of the term grade, so no grade can be computed until it holds at least one activity. Add one under Activities.
  • "{Subject}: N missing scores." A missing score is not a zero. In the class record, type the score, type 0 if the learner scored nothing, or type X to excuse them.
  • "Grades are still recomputing." Wait a moment and look again, or press Compute them now in the class record.
  • "N learners have no descriptor" in a Kindergarten to Grade 3 class. Every learner needs a descriptor and a narrative before the Learner's Progress Report can go out.

Warnings

A learner enrolled but never scored in any subject, and anyone over the 20% absence threshold — DepEd Order 15, s. 2026 fails the learning area unless the absences are justified. Deal with them, or tick I have read the warnings and want to release anyway.

Two other reasons the button stays off

The term is already released — take the release back first, and the next one becomes a new revision. Or your account is not verified yet: emailing cards to learners is the one action that waits for verification. Add a school email in Settings; you can still preview and print.
