How School Management Software Handles Grades and Report Card Generation

Gradebook Management

Flexible Grading Options

Flexible grading options enable teachers to use points, percentages, letters, pass/fail, complete/incomplete, and custom grade scales for assignments, tests, and quizzes. They can drop the lowest assignments if needed and also use the Pure Points grading scale.
Grades Can Be Weighed By Assignment Type
Teachers have the option to use existing assignment types or create custom assignment types, as well as the option to calculate the final grade as a weighted average.
Instant Report Card Generation
School management software can generate report cards for both individual students and the entire class when needed. Customizable reporting formats are available for teachers to create report cards that include the specific information they need (such as grades by subject, additional comments, attendance, logos and headers, and more). They can also download reports in a variety of formats, including pdf and ready-to-print formats.
Can Students and Parents Access Their Grades Online?
