Get started with progress reports Fill progress report sections Track progress report completion Get started with progress reports
Navigate to Progress reports from your homepage.
On the landing page, all report sets are grouped under Ongoing (editable) and Previous (shared), and can be filtered by grading period. Ongoing reports include those still in progress and requiring updates, while previous reports have already been shared with families and students.
Within each report set, you can see the grades you are mapped to, along with report statuses: pending, locked, shared, or excluded.
Note: You can only fill out or edit reports that are unlocked. Additionally, only admins have the ability to lock, unlock, or share a report with students and families.

Progress report views
You can click the relevant grade to begin filling in reports using either of the two views:
Report section view
In this view, you can complete a specific section, such as subject/course reports or homeroom comments, for all students at once.
In a course-based setup, you will see courses and the associated classes you teach. Click on the class to fill in details for all students in that course. In a subject-based setup, you will see subjects and the associated classes you teach. You can enter subject-level grades and comments for students in each class. Student view
In this view, review an individual student’s complete report, including subject/course-level comments and ratings. However, you will be able to edit only the sections for the courses/subjects you teach.
If students have been excluded from the progress report set, their names will appear greyed out at the bottom of the list. And, you will not be able to access their progress reports. To regain access, ask your school admin to include them back in the report set.
Fill progress report sections
Within the progress report, the left pane provides an outline of all sections. You can scroll down to access specific sections or use the pane to navigate seamlessly between them.
Here’s a brief overview of each section in the progress report:
Cover sheet: This section includes key details about the report and is often the first page of the progress report. It is customized by your admin and is view-only for teachers. Cover letter: This section provides a detailed introduction to the report, guiding families through their child’s progress. It is view-only and cannot be edited by teachers. Progress summary: This section summarizes a student’s performance, reflecting scores, grades, and teacher comments for all subjects/courses included in the report. Depending on the template set by the school admin, it may also include attendance data and homeroom advisor comments. As a teacher, you can edit the sections relevant to your assigned subjects. Subject/Courses: This section details a student’s performance in each subject/course, with options to edit ratings and add comments for the subjects/courses assigned to you. Note: In the panel, what you see depends on your school’s academic setup. Schools using a course-based setup will see Courses, while schools using a subject-based setup will see Subjects.
Homeroom adviser comments: This section allows the homeroom adviser to provide personalized feedback on a student’s overall progress and development. Attendance: This section displays a student’s attendance for the reporting period, with editing options depending on the settings configured by the admin. Note: The sections visible in your progress reports depend on the report template set by your school admin. Depending on whether you are accessing a single-grading period report or a multi-grading period report, you will be able to view scores, grades, and modify ratings for either a single grading period or for all the grading periods mapped to the report set.
Subject/Courses
Each course or subject expands to show the individual report sections that you can view/edit:
Learning goals (Standards and Skills) Description
You can begin by adding a course or subject description to summarise what students have explored or achieved during the grading period. Right below a course/subject, you will see the primary teachers assigned to it. The assignment of primary teachers for courses/subjects can be managed within your class by navigating to Settings > Class settings > Staff members.
Additionally, you can use the gear icon to update or change the teachers tagged to a specific course/subject directly from this section.
When you click on the gear icon, a modal will open, allowing you to modify the primary teacher selection. You can add new teachers or remove existing ones. Use the search bar or the Grade, Course, or System role filters at the top right to find specific teachers easily.
Once you’ve finalized your selection, you can choose to apply the changes to all students in your class or only to the current student whose progress report you are filling out. After making your choice, click Next to proceed.
Depending on the setting you selected in the previous modal, a confirmation modal will appear, detailing how the configuration will be applied to your progress reports. Click Save to confirm and finalize the changes.
Covered units
Under Covered units, you can view and select the units relevant to the grading period using the gear icon.
In a course-based setup, all units tagged to the course will appear. In a subject-based setup, all units from the different courses that the student is studying under that subject will show. Click Next.
Click Save to confirm and finalize the changes to the selected classes.
Grade summary
Here, you can view the overall score and grade (as per the selected grade scale) for your subject or course. If assessment categories have been created, a breakdown of scores for each category will also be shown. These scores and grades are pulled from the evaluations done by you, in the class. You will be able to edit these in the reports if the permission is enabled.
Category scores are automatically calculated from class assessments based on the weighting assigned in the grading setup. These scores are then combined to generate an Overall score, based on the calculation method chosen by your school. One or more grades may show based on the grade scales selected at the course/subject level and enabled in the report template. Schools can enable one or multiple grade scales, such as A–F, or 1–8, to appear in the report. Each selected grade scale appears as a separate value in the grade summary. Clicking on an evaluation will open a pop-up where you can review the detailed evaluation history. Standards
You can click the gear icon beside Standards to view and manage which standards appear in the report.
In a course-based setup, the standards tagged to the course will appear. In a subject-based setup, the standards tagged to the subject will show. The grade scale(s) that appear for rating the student on standards are the ones mapped to the standard set in the grading setup.
Note: The grade scale linked to a standard set cannot be modified from within the report; it automatically follows the configuration defined in the grading setup.
To learn more about evaluating students on learning standards, refer to . Skills (Learning goals)
You can click the gear icon beside Skills to view and manage which skills appear in the report.
Skills are defined at the school level and are not subject/course specific.
The grade scale(s) used for rating students on skills are mapped in the grading setup by school admin.
Note: The grade scale linked to a skill set cannot be modified from within the report. It automatically follows the configuration defined in the grading setup.
Clicking on a Standard or Skill’s evaluation will open a graph displaying the evaluation history, which reflects the student’s ratings. Hover over the graph to see detailed performance trends over time. From here, you also can change/indicate students’ progress by selecting the appropriate rating from the selection pop-up. To learn more about evaluating students on learning goals, refer to Teacher comment
Depending on how the report template is set up by your school administrator, you may be required to provide comments at different levels, such as for standards, skills, courses, or subjects, or an overall homeroom adviser comment.
To add evidence to your comment, use the + icon. Here, you can attach evidence from the student’s portfolio using the Toddle icon, or upload files from Device, Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, or by adding a Link.
Additional actions in the comment box:
Quick copy
Use Quick copy to apply the same comment across multiple students of the selected classes. Add a comment from the comment bank
Insert or save reusable comments through the Comment bank for future use. In the modal that pops up, you can browse all comments added by you or the administrator and select one to use.
Add a comment to the comments bank
Add the comment you’ve written to the Comment bank. In the modal that opens, enter a title for the comment, add the comment text, and select the relevant grades, subjects, or courses.
When adding a comment to the comments bank, you can associate it with any grade and subject or course available in your school. This is not limited to the classes or subjects you are currently assigned to as a teacher. Reuse the same comment across multiple classes. Apply comments consistently across subjects or courses within the programme. Prepare comments in advance, even for classes or subjects you may not be directly teaching. Once created, the comment will be available for selection from the comments bank wherever applicable in progress reports.
Use Toddle AI to generate a comment
If your school has subscribed to Toddle AI, you can use it to instantly generate or refine comments for student progress reports. To learn more, refer to Homeroom adviser comments
In the Homeroom adviser comments section, the student’s homeroom teacher can provide feedback, offering insights into the student’s overall performance in the class.
Attendance
The Attendance section displays attendance data based on the school’s configuration, such as daily or period-wise presence, absences, and overall percentage for all the courses/subjects the student is added to.
Other progress report actions
Mark a section as complete
Once a section is filled, teachers can mark it as complete by selecting the completion indicator in the left panel. The encircled green tick denotes a completed section.
Note: Once a section is marked complete, the report status updates automatically for that student and reflects in the overall progress tracking view.
View/hide sections
You can streamline your view using the View/hide sections feature. By unchecking parts of the report you don’t need to work on, you can temporarily hide these sections across all student reports in the set, making it easier to focus on relevant areas.
Switch students
You can navigate between students by clicking the arrows at the top.
To work on a specific student’s report, type the student’s name or select it from the dropdown menu. You can also easily sort students by their full name or report status in this menu.
Download progress reports
On the Student view page, based on the report’s status, you will see different options under the ‘Actions’ column.
For an unlocked report, you will see only the Print preview option. For locked or shared reports, you will see both Print preview and Download progress report options. You can use the bulk selection option to download a set of reports within a grade.
Note: Only reports with a Locked or Shared status can be downloaded in bulk. If you select any reports that are still unlocked, the option to download selected reports will no longer be available.
Track progress report completion
Outside the report, the overall report progress bar on the dashboard will update to reflect all the sections you have marked as complete. Hover over the bar to view any pending items.
Note: You can track the completion of progress reports only for the sections assigned to you.
As you mark sections as complete, these updates are reflected on the admin side, making it easier for admins to review reports. Once all teachers have marked their respective sections as complete and admins have completed their review, they can proceed to lock and share the reports with students and families.
