Online Grades and Attendance

Welcome to the Online Grades 3.2.0 release. We have made many improvements and are excited to release our best version yet! There are several major new features in this release:

To your teachers, the main difference they will see is the teacher memos. They will need to migrate their current teacher memo to the new per-class teacher memos. The old teacher memos will still be visible to the teachers but not visible to students.

Administrators will appreciate being able to change all the common configurations options via the administrative web interface. In addition, many administrators will like the new semi-admin logins that give restricted access to the administrative interface (restricted to one school and limited options).

Parents are now able to have their own login into Online Grades. If they have more than one student with grades in Online Grades they only need their single login to access all their students' grades.
