Settings

Under the Settings tab, you'll be able to allow teachers to give students the ability to students to set their own screen accommodations and edit your time zone and the duration of your school year. This is important to reflect accurate reporting over the course of the correct year. For more information on how to do this, click here.

Permissions

Under the Permissions tab, you'll be able to set your staff permissions and decide who is allowed to make modifications to curriculum, your rosters, and more. This can be helpful in ensuring that you are the one managing data, or allowing teachers and school administrators to do so as well.

Grade Settings

Under the Grade Settings tab, you'll be able to set the default settings for students created in a particular grade.

Gradebook

Under the Gradebook tab, you'll be able to view and manage your Gradebook. This will help you set what constitutes a letter grade, emoticon, or any other grading mechanism your district uses. For more information on all of what you can do to edit this, click here.

Target Settings

Under the Target Settings tab, you can set specific WPM and accuracy settings for certain grades. This can be helpful in developing a district standard for proficient keyboarding. For more information on setting your targets, click here.

Grade Level Scheduled Tests
