Grading periods

Grading periods help define your school’s teaching or reporting cycles - such as terms, semesters, or quarters. Each school within your account can have its own set of grading periods for a given academic year.

What can I do on this page?

Use this page to set up grading periods for each school in your account.

From the left pane, please select your school to view its grading periods.

Use the + icon to create a new grading period. Add a title, abbreviation, start and end dates, and one of the two types:

Reporting period: Used for regular reporting cycles like terms or semesters.

Cumulative: Used to aggregate scores from multiple grading periods and report an overall grade.

Click the pencil icon to edit grading period details, including start/end dates.

Use the trash icon to delete grading periods (only if no data is linked).

For cumulative periods, click Configure to select which other grading periods they draw from and assign weights for score calculation.

Click the lock icon to lock or unlock grading periods once reporting is complete.

Things to keep in mind

Grading periods cannot overlap with one another within the same school and academic year.

All grading periods must fall within the start and end dates of the academic year they belong to.

You cannot delete a grading period if it has data associated with it.

Locking a grading period prevents any changes to assessments, grade boundaries, or evaluations for that period. This ensures data integrity when generating reports.
