GradeBookWizard

What GradeBookWizard is

GradeBookWizard combines an online gradebook, attendance tracking, and a class website for teachers, schools, and districts. Teachers can grade multiple assignments in one pass, choose scoring rules and grade scales, and use rubrics. Semester and final grades are calculated from formulas set by teachers or school administrators. Attendance codes and thresholds can be configured to trigger notifications to students or parents. Each class can have a website for assignments, instructions, grades, announcements, and handouts, while secure student and parent logins show each person only their own grades. Teachers can delegate grading assistance to a teaching assistant or give colleagues access for team teaching. Student data can be loaded from a Student Information System, and grades can be exported in configurable file formats. Reports can be configured, viewed online, or printed in PDF and HTML formats. School subscriptions let administrators set grading periods, grade scales, and semester formulas for teacher accounts. The Teacher subscription costs $4.95 a month per teacher, with no extra cost for student and parent accounts, and a 30-day trial is available. The maker describes GradeBookWizard as web-based, requiring internet access but no installation, and lists web, Windows, and macOS support.
