Changes in Gradebook for Flex Schools
Add Students Not in your Class
Overview
The Gradebook allows teachers to setup all class assignments for their classes. The teacher can then enter scores received by the student for these assignments.
The program will calculate the percentage of the maximum score that the student received. This will help determine the grade the student should receive in the class. Various options are available for teachers including a Rubric Grading option. Below is an example of the Scores by Class page.
Please refer to the full Gradebook Documentation for additional information regarding using all areas of Gradebook.
