Enter feedback for scores in the Gradebook

You can enter Teacher's Notes and Assignment feedback on your Scores page. Both let you add information about a particular assignment or score, but they have different audiences:

  • Teacher's Notes are for your eyes only when you are in the Gradebook.
  • Assignment feedback is seen by students and their families in the Student and Family portals.

Note: You can enter Teacher's Notes and Assignment feedback whether or not you enter a score.

Example: You might add a note to a particular grade to explain that it was one day late.
