Building Gradebook Categories Page

On this page:

Use this page to define Gradebook categories that will be available for some, but not all buildings in the district. When teachers create an assignment, they assign it a Gradebook category, such as Homework, Quiz, Summative Assessment, Formative Assessment, and so forth. If teachers post grades to a mark that receives Gradebook results for a period of time (such as, marking period, semester, or year-to-date), they can select the categories that are averaged to calculate a mark.

You only need to define building categories if teachers in the building use different categories than teachers in other buildings. Categories that are available for all teachers in the district are defined as district categories using the Administration > Mark Reporting Setup > Gradebook Setup > Gradebook District Categories option.

This page displays the categories created for the selected building, as well as categories created for other buildings. To add the category to the selected building, select the Include box and click Save.
