    • Hilighted new features:
      • Add your school's or state's standards to a grade book either directly or through the use of distributable plug-in files based on grade-subject level standards.
      • Create unlimited rubric scales (i.e. Exceeds Standard - 4.00, Meets Standard - 3.00) to be used for recording and reporting performance.
      • Add assignments and link up to ten standards to each for independent assessment.
      • Utilize three separate charts for entering and viewing standard data: 1-Student, 1-Assignment and Totals (pictured).
      • Have overall standard grades calculated using averages (not percents), using the Power-law formula or manually.
      • Set alternating row colors in all charts to improve readability
      • Have the background of score cells automatically colored to indicate student attendance marks on the dates that match the assignments' dates
      • Scroll through rows and columns in all charts using the a mouse scroll-wheel
      • Have scores auto-filled in the score chart when attendance codes are entered in the attendance chart (i.e. 'ab' entered on an assignment when a student is marked absent in the attendance chart)
      • Enter up to two different email addresses for each student.
      • Generate internet password for students automatically
      • Have report paper orientation and size saved between print jobs
      • Have classes re-combined automatically whenever changes are made to prior-term classes
      • Have backup grade books automatically saved to your Documents folder (or some other location of your choice) to ensure that, if the worst happens, your data are secure
      • Set up a password for access by a Restricted-Access user (such as an administrator) and control the level of access
