Starting A New Grade Period:


Selecting New in the File Menu.


A dialog box will appear giving the user five choices.

The next choices are built on the premise that the user has opened an existing class and chosen NEW.

Start A New Grading Period With The Same Students provides the user a method to move a set of students and subjects to a new (empty) file when starting a new grading period.

Start A New Year With Last Years Settings allows all formula and language settings to be maintained when starting a new grade book. This is useful if you teach a multi-lingual classroom, and do not want to translate the information yearly.

Start A New Set Of Subjects With The Same Students allows you to keep additional sets of subjects for the existing Student database.

I Am Not Happy With The Way I Set Up My Subjects is a tricky choice. This allows you to change the spelling of subjects. Remember, this does not move entries already recorded in a subject slot. If you wish to change subject order, go to Preferences in the Settings Menu. This is helpful if you forgot a subject or want to eliminate a subject at the end of the original list. Again, grades are being kept in buckets and changing the titles of the buckets will not change what is in the bucket. It is important to plan ahead. If you are really unhappy with your setup, consider choice #4 above. Put the subjects the way you want them, and reenter the assignments manually. And, of course, plan ahead.
