I would have done something like this: ( I'll do it in English but you
should get the idea)

//User Clicks ADD RECORD

MASTER Student Data Table Required Field: (User must supply a value)
Student ID (NO Duplicates allowed by code)
Other Fields:
LastNm: Duplicates OK
FirstNm: Duplicates OK
... (Etc as needed)

// User adds Student Class & Grade Information

Student Grades SUBTABLE Required Fields: (User must supply a value)
Student ID (Auto Populated by code when Student Name is Selected, Duplicates
OK) (Field can be HIDDEN)
Class Taken: Duplicates OK ( incase of drop & reenrollment etc)
Other Fields:
LastNm: Duplicates OK (Read-Only ComboBox; user must select from active
students)
FirstNm: Duplicates OK (Auto Populated by code)
Grade: Duplicates OK
... (Etc as needed)

// User Requests Student Record to be Displayed on Screen or by Printer:

Select Student by search for Student ID or a Name field or by selection from
a ComboBox
Display MASTER Record in DBTextBoxes over a DBGrid which lists all
Student Grades (or whatever) using query filtered by Student ID to populate
the grid.

Done Deal.
