Enter grades by seating chart!!
This was one of the best features of Easy Grade Pro! When teachers walk around we write grades on seating charts. To be able to enter the grades in that order is an a huge time saver. I have been missing this feature for years now!

Allow assignments for individual students that are not posted for the whole gradebook (differentiated assignments)
Some students require differentiated or alternate assignments that do not need to be viewed for all students. This would permit those assignments to be added to their grades.

Missing Assignments by Student
Print missing assignments from multiple gradebooks by student instead of by gradebook so each student gets one page listing all missing work instead of multiple shreds of paper.

Allow teachers to see the student side of Aeries
We should be able to make a dummy account or be able to click "view as student" or "view as parent" to see how it would look to them. I often get questions from parents or students about where to find things, and I am just as puzzled as they are.

Add a code for missing assignments in gradebook
In the Gradebook, when similar to how there is NA = Not applicable and TX = Teacher Excused, adding another code such as M or MI so that I can manually mark an assignment as missing would be really helpful.
This is particularly true with the new "Import assignments from google button" which will not import scores for assignments that are marked finished.
Currently the teacher must grade everything first then select “is grading complete?" to mark assignments as missing.
99 votesHello! Partial functionality for this feature shipped in the 4/15/2021 Aeries version. A Gradebook Custom Marks Configuration page was released to begin setup of Custom marks for District use. Teachers can contact their District to discuss custom marks.
Integration of this Custom mark Configuration with the Gradebook is still being worked on but will be shipped in the near future.

50% min.max should NOT apply to Missing Assignments!
I love the idea of allowing students to recieve a 50% in place of anything less on an assignment that they have scored poorly on; however, if they have not completed the assignment or it is missing, and a grade is NOT entered- this assignment should absolutely NOT be calculated as 50%. They didn't DO the assignment and this causes for students who have more missing assignments than finished assignments to have inflated grade that does not accurately reflect their actual progress in the class. Please fix.

Allow teachers to input student alias in the seating chart in case they go by a name different than the one in Aries
I have students who do not go by the name in Aries, but I am not aware of how or if I can have the seating chart print a student Alias.

Email Missing Assignments to Students
Allow teachers to send the missing assignment to students, like they can for parents. Some teachers would like to send the report to students first, to use as a motivational tool, before sending to parents or making the assignment results visible in the portal.

Locking scores, or giving an alert when about to overwrite a score
I have accidentally overwritten scores. It would be good if there was an alert when you are about to overwrite a score in case you really don't want to.
48 votesWe’re considering some kind of log history. You would easily be able to see the scores you changed, and it would have an “undo” button next to that score in case you accidentally overwrote a score

iPad Focused Data Entry
The current iPad data entry for the gradebook is sufficient, but could be slightly improved. We are considering creating an iPad focused data entry dialog that would remove the need for the keyboard for the iPad. This screen would have it's own number pad or selector depending on what kind of field you're currently editing. It would have quick navigation for getting to the next student or assignment.

Allowing teachers to prevent the grade % from being displayed so a four point (0-4, or other) grading system can easily be implemented
Allowing teachers to use the "Final Grades" tab to create a 0-4 (four) point grading system - this will require that the teacher be able to disable the student grade % from being displayed in places like the parent portal, student portal and all other downstream locations. Using the "Final Grades" tab in the existing gradebook already works to allow teachers to implement the four point grading system, but the display of the grade % adjacent to the grade causes confusion for students and parents - as well as concern about special education cases where a target % has been…
