  • 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

By early May, the steps for the Summer Transition process will appear at the top of your Home screen. Some of these steps involve:

  • Creating courses and filling GradeBooks
