The setup for standards-based gradebooks is slightly different from that of letter-grade gradebooks. Courses and sections need to be created in the desktop system.
Please refer to the Academic Courses & Sections in the Administrators Guide.

The marking system for standards-based courses must be set to skills instead of letter.
The lower elementary grades may as few as have three courses:
•Math
•Language Arts
•Other Skills & Behaviors
Upper elementary grade levels may have Science, Social Studies, and other courses. The basis for determination of how many courses to establish is the number of gradebooks that teachers want to have. There is one gradebook created for every section of a course that a teacher teaches.
