Reminder for Elementary Teachers: Students who have moved to/from W@H <--> BAM

 Just a reminder for Elementary Teachers who have had students move to/from W@H <--> BAM... You will need to transfer their Quarter 1 grades from their previous teacher. If you do not follow these directions then the student will have blanks for Quarter 1 when their report card is printed. This will also affect the Final Grade if they are left blank.  Feel free to reach out to me if you need more help! Directions below!! 👇👇👇👇👇

Elementary Progress Reports

 It's almost time for Progress Report 2! 😱😱😱😱 To help speed up the process for you I have created a few new Report templates. You'll find them once you (1) open any one of your subjects, (2) hover over the Reports tab, and (3) select Enhanced Multi-Class Progress Report. You'll find 2 templates that I've created. The first is called Denise's Progress Report WITH Assignments. This will likely print more than one page per student. The second template I have added is called Denise's Progress Report WITHOUT Assignments. This will print one page per student.
