In May, most of our schools will be wrapping up their final grading period. Here are some items that may need to be addressed:
- Closing input for 4th mid-quarter reports
- Opening up teacher input for 4th quarter report cards
- Closing 4th quarter report cards when teachers have finished importing grades
Some
schools also have a ‘Semester 2’ and/or a ‘Final’ column on their
report cards. If this has been set-up at your school, then you
will need to open up input for those grading periods as well.

ADMINISTRATORS: At
the end of the year, there are often empty/unused courses (in pink) at
the bottom of each teacher’s list in Show Who Teaches What. When moving

especially if a teacher has switched grade levels or curriculum. May is
a great time to remove these courses! ...Read more
