Manage Non-Graded Coursework in SchoolFront
Adding graded coursework, like a test or project or homework, into the system allows teachers to track grades for the coursework and allows parents and students to see what is assigned and what is due when they login to SchoolFront.
On the other hand, non-graded coursework includes things like class notes, study reminders, field trip notifications, etc. that teachers want to track and want parents and students to see when they login to SchoolFront, but that don't require grading.
- Example: A teacher can post class notes every day as non-graded coursework in SchoolFront along with relevant attachments (e.g. word documents, pdf's, etc.) so that students can access the information at any time by logging into SchoolFront.
Once graded and non-graded coursework has been entered into the system, it can also be edited and deleted.
