It's Easy to Get Started

GradeQuick was created to look and feel like a paper gradebook so that every step is easy and intuitive:

• Just load the program and you're up and running.
• It's the only gradebook that lets you see, enter and change all information directly on the gradebook spreadsheet.
• There are no confusing setup windows or multiple menu steps to get in the way.

GradeQuick Gives You the Big Picture

• Unlike other gradebooks where the user must page through different screens and menus to find key information, GradeQuick lets you customize the main screen to display everything you need, all in one place!
• With a click of the mouse, your main screen can show more than just test scores and averages; it can display statistics and personal student data fields, full length test names instead of abbreviations, student nicknames, birthdays, and addresses. These are just a few of the custom options available.
• This flexibility to customize the main screen is unique on the gradebook market, and just one reason why GradeQuick continues to lead the field.

Reports That Make Every Teacher Look Good

• Only GradeQuick offers teachers total control over report content, style, and layout.
• GradeQuick provides a wide selection of ready to print reports, and with the click of a mouse or a few keystrokes, they can be quickly modified to dramatically change the content and look of your report. From basic gradebook spreadsheets to report cards, missing work lists and blank worksheets, GradeQuick creates practically any report imaginable.
• No other gradebook offers advisors, team teachers, and elementary school teachers the ability to print reports that can automatically combine scores from different subject files, or from different teachers' files into one report for each student.

Grading Has Never Been So Flexible

Because there are as many different grading methods as there are teachers, GradeQuick was designed to be flexible enough to adapt to the teacher's way of doing things:

• It's designed for all grade levels, and any grading system.
• Use any weighting system or none at all.
• Experiment: Find out how dropping the lowest scores will affect students' averages. Try out a new grade scale. Curve or adjust any assignment. Count incompletes as exempt or zero and switch them individually or all at once. It's all calculated and posted immediately, so a few mouse clicks or keystrokes provide instant results. Most importantly, you can experiment with all of these changes and they will not be permanent until you make that decision.

Standards and Skills View

• An intuitive layout allows you to track state standards, skills, assessments, and lesson plans within the same window.
• Use any weighting system or none at all.
• Enter your standards and skills or import them with StandardsBuilder, then simply click on the Student Assessments tab and immediately enter your assessments.
• Click on the Lesson Plans tab and you are able to view all lesson plans associated within the particular skill your are assessing.

Plan Your Daily Activities with the Lesson Planner

• Plan, view, and print lesson plans in order to become more effective in the classroom.
• Gather curriculum, content, and resources and save them with your gradebook.
• You can also build standards-based lesson plans and print out detailed weekly and plan reports.

Site Licensing Makes Grading Easy

• GradeQuick is the perfect choice for a school site license. A license allows both home and school use, and its cross-platform capabilities allow teachers with different operating systems at home and at school to use the same data disk. Powerful import and export features interface with Administrator's Plus; facilitating a smooth transfer of rosters, grades, attendance, comments and other information to Administrator's Plus.
• Everyone benefits from the standard use of one program. At the same time, it's flexibility allows teachers to create their own personal grading system with no limitations. Students and parents will give teachers an A+ for the accurate, easy to understand feedback they receive from GradeQuick.

No More Bubbling!

• GradeQuick exports scores, attendance, comments, and other information to Administrator's Plus. No more tedious hours spent transferring grades by hand with bubble sheets.

Picture Perfect Seating Chart

• You can display and print student pictures on GradeQuick's seating chart. Just by clicking on a student's photo, you can enter attendance information that will go directly to the school office.
• Arrange seats based on your criteria or drag the seats to your own custom arrangement.

Add a Little Personality to Your Gradebook

• The "Student Data Fields" in GradeQuick are more than a place to keep birthdays, nicknames or phone numbers; they can help you organize your roster on the page or prepare specialized reports on certain student groups. For example, use the 20 data fields to keep track of students' after-school activities, and then conduct a search for band members with averages over 70%. Or make a weekly report for all students on sports teams.
• It's just another way GradeQuick can help ease the workload, save time and provide feedback to students, parents and administrators in a more timely, organized and professional manner.

Versatile Attendance Codes Are Always "Present"

• If you've found "present" and "absent" to be a little restrictive, GradeQuick has what you're looking for:
• Add up to twelve attendance codes of your own choosing.
• You can even formulate a reward or penalty system based on attendance.
• Like so many of GradeQuick's powerful options, these features are available to you if you want them, but otherwise remain hidden if they're not in use.

A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words

• To get the point across quickly, clearly and with more impact, GradeQuick provides outstanding graphic visual aids. Full color reports and graphs are easily created. Graph grade distributions for the final semester average or any grading period, category or assignment. Create graphs to illustrate a student's progress.

Advanced Methods Simplify Your Job

• When it comes to grading, GradeQuick beats even Excel and AppleWorks. Without the hassle of writing a formula, you get sophisticated computations and reports designed especially for grading. Use GradeQuick to spot trends in the progress of a student, a class, or a group of classes. Provide students with instant feedback on their performance on individual tests or an entire course.
