Manage Grades and Attendance for Your School and Class

Grades from multiple subterms can be combined into final term or year values. Multiple grade scales can be used with different courses in one school. For example, elementary classes can use elementary marks, high school classes can use standard letter grades, and other classes can be graded with percents. Attendance marks for individual classes combine into per-day attendance marks using customizable calculations. Administrators can verify and change attendance marks if necessary. Flexible scheduling handles standard schedules, cyclical (A/B) scheduling, and weekly (M,T,W,Th,F) schedules.
