Overview

Each course Gradebook is automatically populated with the correct roster of students based on the data imported from your school's student information system. As students add, drop or change periods, your Gradebook is automatically updated after each of the nightly imports.

This article provides a navigation to the entire Gradebook options available in the School Loop portal.
