Grade detail ON gives you more options: score entry, public/private notes, access to comment codes, and score history. Elementary teachers can score standards and view analysis for each attached standard.
- Options: This is where you can truly customize your grade book to meet your needs. Too much clutter in the header area (6)? Turn off the items you don't want to see, show or hide student pictures, change column widths, turn on analysis bands (7), show dropped students, etc, etc... Secondary teachers (and elementary specialists) can apply these settings to all their sections with one click.
- Student name column can display a thumbnail of the students' pictures. Clicking on a student name will open the same "Student Profile" screen you can access from your seating chart.
- This header area is fully customizable from the "Options" area (4) mentioned above. Add items you would like to see, toggle off the things you don't...
