Student Terms Table Overview
Student terms are records created for each student for each term they are enrolled in the school. Where there is one school term record with a specific start and end date, there are multiple student term records with the same start and end date that are related to each individual student. Student Term records are child records to term, and also the student. They describe the many to many relationship between students and terms.
The student term records provide information on the student's academic performance in each school term, and stores the GPA achieved for that term.

Student Terms Automation
PEMS automatically creates student term records for the student up to the end of the student grade_span. The student's grade span is determined by the student' s grade level.
When the student is completes registration, the student term records are created for the student for the entire grade span.
However, if a student enters in the middle of a grade span, student term records are not automatically created for the past terms of the grade span.
All enrollments are child records to the student term record, and so no enrollments can be made unless there are first student term records created.
