InteGrade Pro  8.0

Happy New School Year!

At the start of each school year, you will create a new grade book, import your class roster, customize your display, and set up the task types and grading scale. 

During the year, you record student grades and experiment with the variety of reporting options.  Updates will occur automatically. 

At the end of each reporting period, you export data for report cards.
