To simplify the grade book set-up we have created and preset the categories to reflect the most common gradebook setup throughout the district that reflects the guidance from the district. If you would like to add and/or change the settings you do have the ability to do so.

View and work with your categories on the Categories page. District-created categories are labeled with an icon that looks like a building.

If a section is shared between multiple teachers, only the lead teacher’s categories are applicable when working with that section.

  1. On the navigation menu, select Grading, and then choose Categories. All of your active categories appear.
  2. Select Show Inactive to display categories that are not currently active.
  3. Select the arrows to move categories higher or lower on the list to sort the categories.
  4. Select the pencil next to the category name to edit. Select Save when your changes are complete.
  5. To delete a category, select the pencil next to the category name. Select Delete, and then select Confirm Delete

Note: You will not be able to delete categories that are linked to any assignment (current or past years). You can mark these categories as Inactive instead.
