Adjusting Category Weights
The default category weights are assigned by the county, but we can make sub-categories within each one:
i.e. if ASSESSMENT counts for 50% of the reading grade, we can make Rdg Level 25%, Comprehension 15%, and Fluency 10% - THEY MUST ADD UP !

To Combine, or Not to Combine
If you teach a Focus or Resource cluster at the same time as a reg. ed cluster, they SHOULD be together in the same gradebook already. If you are seeing them as separate gradebooks, please fill out this form
