Re-Naming Gradebooks

Go to Gradebook Grid, then select your Readingclass.

Click on the Options tab,then change the name of your class to the subject area and your name

i.e. READING - CROOK

Hide Empty Gradebooks

Go to the empty class (or class you want to hide), and click the X.

It is NOT deleted, just hidden from view. To get it back click the + tab to the right of your last gradebook

Adjusting Category Weights

The default category weights are assigned by the county, but we can make sub-categories within each one:

i.e. if ASSESSMENT counts for 50% of the reading grade, we can make Rdg Level 25%, Comprehension 15%, and Fluency 10% - THEY MUST ADD UP !

To Combine, or Not to Combine

If you teach a Focus or Resource cluster at the same time as a reg. ed cluster, they SHOULD be together in the same gradebook already. If you are seeing them as separate gradebooks, please fill out this form
