SchoolTool 21.3 Release is here!

Standards-Based Grading 

We are releasing our standards-based grading functionality for training purposes.  

Here's what you can expect from our grade book when implementing standards-based grading: 

• Teachers can assign grading scales and weights to any standards linked with an assignment.

• Once standards have been associated, teachers can enter a score for each individual standard.  

• Teachers also can mass apply a calculated score for the overall assignment based on the standard scores and weights.

• Districts can create a custom short name to associate with any standard. The short name is then used to create simple identifiers for standards. 

SchoolTool Authentication/Login Experience Needed for Grading Tools

In April 2023, we introduced an enhanced authentication solution and login experience with the Version 20.2 release. This updated authentication not only provides significant security enhancements but also ensures a consistent experience across the full site and mobile site.

Our new grading tools require the updated authentication solution we introduced. These grading tools cannot be enabled until your district has completed that process.

Please note that you can still upgrade to Version 21.3 regardless of whether you have converted to the new authentication solution, as the process for converting to the new login experience remains the same.
