Frequently Asked Questions
Can all the teachers in my school use the gradebook?

The online gradebook allows instructors to manage student grades individually while keeping everything aligned across the entire school through a shared learning management system.
How do I start a new school year in the gradebook?

Can I reuse assignments from previous years?
Yes. Instructors can copy specific assignments from earlier terms with just a click. This works well for recurring coursework, inspections, drills, or leadership evaluations that follow a consistent structure each grading period.
What grading tools are available for military academies?
The gradebook supports structured evaluation models that reflect both academic and leadership expectations. Schools can apply traditional grading or custom grade scales while tracking performance across each class.
