Student Competency Free Text Page

On this page:

Use this page to add free text comments for students. The free text comments entered by teachers are stored as free text comments for student competencies. These free text comments are printed on a report card only if it contains student competencies. The base report card supports printing of free text comments for up to 10 teachers per marking period. If the building does not use student standards and competencies, the Free Text field will be enabled, but the user will not be able to enter any text in the box. Only one free text entry per student per marking period is allowed. A user can edit the existing free text entries.
