Coming Up This
Month...
In April, most of our
schools will be releasing mid-quarter reports. Here are some items that
may need to be addressed:
- Closing input for 3rd quarter report cards
- Confirming the date range in the system
for the 4th mid-quarter report
- Opening up teacher input for mid-quarter
reports
- Closing mid-quarter reports when teachers
have finished importing grades
In mid April, the steps
for the Summer Transition process will appear at the top of your Home
screen. Some of these steps involve:
- Creating staff accounts for any new
teachers
- Moving students forward to their new
grade and homeroom
- Creating courses and filling GradeBooks

for 3rd Mid-Trimester Report will require:

'Grades' then 'Report Card Input Controls'

'Not Yet' to 'Allow Input' in 'Report Card Input Controls'
- Having teachers go through the
mid-trimester report card input process
