End of 9-weeks & Semester - 12/19 (grades due 1/6)

• Transfer Grades: Please use the nine-weeks option for transfer grades instead of individual IPRs. <Current 9wks> <Previous 9wks>
• Semester Average: You can adjust the semester average. Best practice would be to adjust the 1st or 2nd nine-weeks average. <Grade Override>
• Semester Exam (High School Credit Classes ONLY): The semester average will not display until an exam grade is entered. One option is to add the semester exam score as a zero for all students to see what the average would be if they were to skip/not take the exam. <Semester Exam>

Class Groups

• Many teachers have begun using Class Groups. To edit Assignment Details or unlock grading periods you MUST go to the individual sections.
• Assignments can be "synced to" multiple sections. This option is much better than copying or cloning assignments.
