Marking Periods
Once you have created your Marking Periods Types, you can indicate the date range for each type, as well as set how much time teachers have to input marks into the grading portal. Note that marking periods are set up separately for every division and term. If you are using an Annual Marking Period, please make sure it is dated from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.
Please refer to the examples below.
