Overview
The Class Grade Report allows District and School Admins to create customizable, report‑card‑style grade report. The system is able to support personalized grade level (A, B, C, etc.), percentage ranges (e.g., 90–100% = A), and point values for each test.
Important:
- Teachers can customize grade scales only on gray subject tabs.
- Blue (School) and Purple (District) subject tabs are managed by the school/district.
- Teachers can create a grade scale to share with colleagues, provided all accounts are linked to the same organization.
