Amy
Our county has an online gradebook, but it does not include Kindergarten….Kindergarten has their own checklist report card that they do… Our county uses PowerSchool…
Kim
We use PowerSchool grade book. We are able to customize it to fit the report cards we use.
Marcia
We just created our progress report for K in
PowerSchool…..common core aligned of course…we are piloting it for our primary school…our elementary school uses it too!
Melissa
We use PowerSchool but I don’t think it is user friendly or aligned to Kindergarten. Friends use OnCourse and they love it. We use OnCourse for lesson planning and I love it too. I just don’t know why our district doesn’t use it for grade book too.
Jennifer
We use ProgressBook, and we can also customize our grade card.
Shandra
Our school district uses Sapphire. We just started this year. It was a little hard to get used to. However, they were able to upload our “checklist” report card right into the system. After a few glitches, we got it and it matches our old reports cards in word document. They are basically able to do or put in whatever you would like.
Tiffany
My school uses PowerSchool 1-8 and K uses ESGI. You can make your own on-line assessments or use some that are already created. It is AWESOME! It was developed by a K teacher. It has report cards, graphs, charts, and class comparisons. LOVE IT!
Jennifer
We use an online grade book and its horrible. It does not aligned with common core or user friendly.
Adrienne
We use Skyward and input a standards based score – 3,2,1,4. To give parents specific
information, we include a handwritten insert mimicking our testing documents.
Lorna
Our district uses PowerSchool for all grades. Kindergarten has been included for the last 3 years. Takes some getting use to.
Jessica
We use ProgressBook as well!
Helen
We use Genesis and don’t like it for Kindergarten grading at all.
Brittany
Engrade. It’s AWESOME! My school is piloting it this year. Check it out! It is aligned with common core and with kindergarten!
Mandy
We use Skyward. We no longer have long checklists with each letter a child knows. Instead we have to record that a child knows 21/26 letters, then in the comments write which ones he missed. It’s what we were told to use, so we’ve made it work.
Laren
The district uses PowerTeacher and kindergarten uses ESGI also as the assessment piece. We transfer the results into PowerTeacher.
Barbara
We use IGPRO, but we only upload the final grade. We use a checksheet for the skills.
Laurie
Our school uses one for every grade except kindergarten. We just haven’t found one that fits.
Kimberly
We use Gradespeed. It allows you to enter the standard for the assignment your grading..it takes some getting used to..but I love it, plus parents can sign up and see their child’s grades at any time!
Tanya
We use Pinnacle. Only K and ESE have issues with it, but we are learning better ways to use it productively.
Dana
We use Webgrader.com. We enter all our standards as assignments with 100% on a rubric system. It’s easy to use once it is set up. But at our school and others in the area that use it, you need an ‘administrator’ to run the report cards (basically one person is in charge of it for the school).
Melissa
E-school Data has gradebook and we also use it for attendance. I teach Kindergarten but don’t use the gradebook.
Tina
Ashley
We use School Tool– the programmer modifies it each year as we see fit, so its getting better.
Margie
We use Gradespeed too. I love it. Easy to use!
Donna
We use Gradespeed in Irving, Texas. It seems to work well for kindergarten. We just updated to add our common core objectives.
Erin
Our district uses Skyward, and all but kinder and pre k use it. We still use a hard copy report card.
Jamie
We use ProgressBook and it is very customizable. And soooooo much easier than handwriting in grades. You plug in the points and it averages everything for you. It gives you an individual grade for the different area under language arts and math and then an overall grade in each. And parents can also log in to see grades.
Sharon
Our district uses Progress Book. However, Kindergarten enters the grades but do not have to keep our checklists on PB.
Benita
We use Renweb, and have to tweak it for Kindergarten and Jr. Kindergarten. We do have skill sets for breaking down the skills each quarter, and that helps individualize it. In the 3rd quarter when we have more tests and oral evaluations, we can enter scores like the rest of the Elementary teachers do.
Karen
Our district uses PowerSchool…. We can put in any assignments we want. It uses a 1-3 rubric system.
Deena
Check out Humboldt County Office of Education…we are in final stages of creating a common core online report card…it is going to be amazing…we are also. making one for TK.
Lisa
We have Data Director and we hate it. So many glitches and no support services My district is actively looking for a new one.
Chaya
We use Edline and modify it to fit our needs.
Rich Porter
GradeCam grades assignments with a webcam or document camera and then send the grade to any gradebook for you. We love Easy Grade Pro but there are a lot of good ones out there.
