How to Add Historical Marking Periods in School Settings

To enter old marking periods, navigate to:


Menu Bar >> Settings >> Grades

You can click on '+ Add Historical Marking Period' to start creating a new marking period.



By clicking you get a popup section where you are required to fill-

  1. School Year
  2. Marking Period Name
  3. Grade Post Date (month and year only)

and click submit 




You can use the same steps to create more historical periods
