Gradebook District Categories Page

On this page:

Use this page to define Gradebook categories that will be available for all of the district's buildings. When teachers create an assignment, they assign it a Gradebook category, such as Homework, Summative 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), teachers can select the categories to include when calculating a mark.

If a category should only be available for a specific building, define it for the individual building using Administration > Mark Reporting Setup > Gradebook Setup > Building Gradebook Categories.
