In SchoolInsight, admins can create summary grading periods to collect an overall grade from one or more grading periods. Grades from summary grading periods are typically reported as official grades for state reporting or transcript purposes. An example of a summary grading period is a final grading period that averages the grades from quarter 1 through quarter 4.
In order to use summary grading periods, your courses will first need to be able to allow summary grading periods.
