Gradebook Marking Periods

Gradebook Managers can use gradebook marking periods to break up school terms into separate gradebook terms. For example, if your school is semester-based, you can create quarters within the semester using gradebook marking periods. Teachers will have four distinct gradebooks, one for each gradebook marking period. Gradebook marking periods must exist within terms.

1. From the persona menu, select Academics.

2. Next, select Grades, Grading setup then Gradebook settings.

3. Under Marking periods & grade access, select the specific School Level (if applicable) and then the School Year you want to set up gradebook marking periods for.

4. Select + Add marking period to create a new gradebook marking period and enter the following information:

   • School year

   • School level (only applicable if your school has multiple levels)

   • Term

   • Marking period name: For example, "Fall Gradebook" or "Quarter 2 Gradebook"

   • Marking period start date and Marking period end date: Either enter the gradebook marking period dates using the format MM/DD/YYYY, or select the dates using the calendar option.

5. Select Save to finalize and add the new marking period. Cancel undoes everything you've added and brings you back to the main Marking Period screen.

For existing gradebook marking periods, select Edit to change any information and details or Delete to remove the entry completely.

Warning: A gradebook marking period cannot be deleted once a teacher has used it in their gradebook setup.
