Teachers usually setup their Gradebooks by "Year". This means that they plan on using the same gradebook settings throughout the entire year (across semesters or trimesters). However, occasionally, teachers need to change their assignment type weights mid-year. These instructions explain how to change gradebook settings and assignment type weights mid year without changing grades from past marking periods. 


  1. From the Gradebook, go to Edit Setup. 
  2. By default, the Gradebook settings are Set by: Year. To change the settings mid year, check Marking Period.
  3. A screen will pop up for you to verify the calculation methods that you want for each marking period (semester or trimester). After changing the settings, click Apply.
