Prepopulated Gradebooks

By using prepopulated gradebooks online, teachers can plan curriculum, submit attendance, and record grades. Parents can then log in and track their child’s progress.

Manage Attendance

Attendance can be instantly shared between teachers and school administration staff. Additionally, attendance types can be customized and recorded on either a daily basis or period-by-period.
