Grade levels are specified by creating records for the grade levels the school teaches. The records have a name, which could be "sixth" or "6th" or any user-entered name. The user must also assign a grade level number, such as 6 for the 6th grade,  The records are sequenced to know which grade comes before which so that the name does not have to reflect the order of the grade levels.   

The grade span of a grade level is determined from the grade span table, which indicates the start and end grade of the span. This is completed through automation.
