Add colors to grade scales for your scores page

You can associate colors with grade scales (created by you or your district), and view them on your Scores page. This can help you quickly spot students who are performing well over a series of assignments, as well as those whose poor scores might put them at risk.

Note: You cannot associate colors with grade scales that have overlapping values.
Note: If your district uses rubric rating scales, you can assign colors to a rubric rating scale's ratings.

To add colors to grading cells on your Scores page:

  1. Select the colors to associate with your grade scales.
  2. On your Scores page, at Display, select Color to see your selections.

On your Scores page, you can decide whether you want to view all of the colors you have selected, only some of them, or none at all. Your selections can toggle on or off. They appear in the full Traditional and Standards views, as well as the Single Assignment and Single Student views.

Notes: When you display colors on your Scores page:

  • The color disappears when you click in a grading cell, then reappears when you leave.
  • You must click in a cell with colors to view any Assignment Feedback or Teacher's Notes.
  • If a special code is entered for an assignment grade, then no color will appear in that cell.
