Create footnotes

Create footnotes special notes that teachers can add to scores on the Scores page to add special notes to scores on the Scores page. The notes do not add or subtract any points, or affect the student’s average. They simply offer you a place to record notes regarding an assignment grade.

For example, a student might receive a C for an assignment—two grades lower than he actually earned, because he submitted it two weeks late.

After you enter a footnote for a score, the code you select appears next to the score. To view the footnote, use your cursor to hover over the footnote code.

Footnotes are not visible in the Family and Student portals.

To create footnotes:

1. Log on to the Staff view.
2. Click the Tools tab.
3. Click the Footnotes side-tab.
4. On the Options menu, click Add. The New Gradebook Footnote page appears.
5. Type the code.

   Note: This is the code you can enter on the Scores page by pressing CTRL+L or selecting Lookup on the Options menu, then selecting Footnote at Filter in the pop-up.

6. Type the description.
7. Click Save.

   Note: If a grade term is locked, it can prevent you from editing or deleting a footnote. See "Locked Grade Terms" for more information.
