High school chemistry teacher cannot translate mastery grading (0-4 scale) into A-F progress reports without unfairly penalizing students who are still in-progress on learning targets.

Existing gradebook software typically requires conversion of mastery scores to letter grades at fixed points, lacking flexibility to handle progress reports where in-progress scores should not be translated like final grades.
