Grade Book: Grade by Performance Band Color and Order Assignments by Due Date

Grade by Performance Band Color 

This feature allows users to automatically color code students' calculated marking period letter grades in the OnCourse Grade Book. To do this, navigate to the System Manager and follow this path:

               District > Grade Book Settings > Scales & Periods > Expand a school year >
               Grade Scales > Expand a grade scale > Click directly on a grade scale value

Information relating to the chosen grade scale value is visible on the right. At the bottom, simply choose the color you want associated with the selected grade scale value. Repeat the process for all values within the grade scale.

Order Assignments by Due Date

By default, assignments are saved to your grade book in ascending order, from left to right, earliest due date to latest. This ordering is repeated within each category.

To reverse this, click on the View drop-down menu and uncheck the Ascending Order by View checkbox. Now the assignments are in descending order, from left to right, latest due date to earliest. The ordering is still repeated within each category.

If you want ALL of your assignments to be in order, regardless of category, you can do this as well. Simply, click on the View drop-down menu and check the Hide Categories option. Categories will be removed from view. Assignments can be organized in either ascending or descending order by checking or unchecking the Ascending Order by View checkbox.
