For new Alternate Day, default to existing schedule to save time
When working with alternate schedule days, it would be a time saver to not have to type the times again since sometimes it is just a matter of which classes meeting, but the times are the same.

Allow a "Class" to be added to a non-school day
I would like to post debate tournament information in a class rather than an event, so I'd like to make a class that meets on Saturdays. I can't currently make Saturdays class days because that messes up my alternating day schedule. Using an event doesn't work because I can't control how long the event expands the way I can with a class block--and I don't want all that extra space at the top of my week because Saturday has a long event.

Select multiple classes for attendance report
I am running attendance reports since I'm a special education teacher. I would like to base their participation grades on attendance with me. My groups are so small that if they are here, then they are working. I have 10 classes to run reports for. It would be great to select multiple classes and have their attendance run at once.

Multiple Custom Views
It would be nice to be able to save multiple different custom views.
Sometimes I like to look at just the overviews for a a week of a single class... Other times I want to see the plans for all my classes without the overviews. Sometimes I want to see all the overviews for a single day... or the detailed plans for a single day WITHOUT the overviews.
As the software works right now, I can save ONE of these as a preference, but have to set the others up by hand when I need them.

Overall Grade - Option for points rather than percent
I teach in a French American school and our grades are out of 20. It would be nice if we had the possibility to change it to facilitate other grading systems.

Automatically increase a number by one when copied
I would love to be able to write an entire lesson or assignment, and have the numbers increase by 1 automatically so I don't have to edit every single entry. Other planners do this by having special characters around the number to increase.
IE Day 1: "Complete Lesson 1 in your packet"
copy through the year results in the exact same text now, I'd love to have it be: Day 2: "Complete Lesson 2 in your packet"
Day 3: "Complete Lesson 3 in your packet"

Allow the useage of more than one standards framework at once
Open up the framework possibilities. It's too restrictive right now... I can only use one framework at once, and only search by one single grade. I use many grade levels and many frameworks.

Standards search across all grades per discipline
Instead of being forced to select a single grade for standards, either eliminate this or allow a search section for "all grades"

Add a View Toggle in the Lesson Bank
The Lesson bank feature is oriented vertically. Yet, old school teachers were trained to plan lessons and subjects horizontally in old school plan books. Is it possible to incorporate a view feature in the lesson bank feature so teachers could toggle, similar to the calendar view, to a week (5days) or Month (a 6x5 section) to be able to view the lesson banks differently. I know that I am spatially challenged but I would think this would help many, and you have part of the functionality already developed. Something to consider. Thank you! I really appreciate planbook and all the…

Enter grade as Reading Grade Level
Please allow other ways to record grades. Sometimes on assessments it's not a typical grade. I cannot record it as 15 right out of 20. Sometimes, for example, an assessment is of the reading grade level. The child reads a passage, answers some questions, and that determines his grade level. So one day he might have a 4.1. Another day it might be a 3.8. This is NOT out of 100 points or 12 grades and so on. I just want to record and track the grade level.

"Score Weight" Report
For data analysis: I would like to export a report of a specific class, and get a list of all the students and their average score for a specific "score weight". A specific "score weight" can have more than one assignment, so that is why I would like the average score. thanks in advance.

Print lessons side by side when overlapping times
When there are overlapping times that things occur, it would be nice if they would give us the option to print it in blocks so that they show up side by side. It would give the visual that there are more than one activities going on at one time.

Allow grades to be entered and view as a letter grade
I like to enter grades using points, as your gradebook is set up, only I like to view the grades as a letter grade. That way I can enter grades, and see what letter grade to put on the student's paper. Also, there are times when I want to override the points and bump the letter grade up or down. If letter grades were part of the pop up menu, then I could select the letter grade.

Allow equal size Events
Allow us to set Events and calendar items as equal size blocks to match the equal size lessons. As it is events and calendar items push equal-size lessons far down on the screen. Please allow us to set these events and calendar items (especially if they have long notes) to equal-size blocks to match our equal-size lessons to keep everything lined up on our screens without large gaps.

Align start date from prior year
Due to school starting later this year it is cumbersome to copy lessons from last year and paste them to this year. Each time I go back to last year I have to back up 4 weeks. Is there a way to align the start dates from last year and this year, so that when I view previous years it will show the same school day that I am working on? For example, if I am working on "School Day 1" and go back to last year it would display "School Day 1" from last year?

Standards by Week
I would like to have the option of listing standards by the week where the standards are listed across the entire week. Our reading series lists the standards for the entire week. So instead of choosing the standards for Monday and then copying and pasting them throughout the rest of the week, it would be nice if there was the option to merge the standard cells for Monday through Thursday and have them listed once and hopefully save more space and paper.
