Hide courses from grade input

You can flag a course so that grades cannot be viewed, entered, or edited. If you flag a course to hide it from grade input:

  • In the Staff view, teachers cannot enter or edit scores for the course in their Gradebook.
  • In the Student and Family portals, the Hide From Grade Input icon " "appears, along with the message "Scores are not collected for this course".
Note: It is recommended that a district enables this feature before the school year begins. If you set the 'hide from grade input' flag after teachers have entered scores for the class, those historic grade records will appear in the Staff view and in the Student and Family portals.
