Generate Student Progress Reports

The Progress Reports page allows administrators to generate detailed academic progress reports for one or more students during a selected marking period. Unlike a report card, which summarizes final grades, a progress report provides an ongoing view of assignment performance, grades earned, due dates, teacher comments, and overall academic standing while the marking period is still in progress.

Progress reports help schools keep students and parents informed about academic performance before final grades are issued, allowing early intervention when additional support is needed.

Before You Begin

Before generating progress reports, ensure that:

  • Teachers have entered assignments and grades.
  • Assignment categories and grading scales have been configured.
  • The required marking period has been selected.
  • Students are enrolled in the relevant course sections.
  • You have permission to generate academic reports.

Open the Progress Reports Page

  1. Navigate to Grades > Progress Reports.
  2. Select the desired Marking Period from the Select Date drop-down.
  3. Configure the report options.
  4. Select one or more students.
  5. Generate the report.

Best Practices
