Allow assessments to repeat
I give weekly quizzes in some of my classes and would like to be able to schedule them en masse instead of individually each week. For example, the ability to schedule a quiz every Thursday for a given date range would be extremely helpful. It would also be great if you added a biweekly option.

Print full year of plans
Print yearly calendar for better curriculum mapping. Also when printing horizontal it cuts off the date on the next page and places it on the page prior. Print to one page for one month!

Option to drop lowest grade
It would be helpful to add a feature to give the teacher the ability to drop the lowest grade for a semester or year. Right now they have to go in manually.

Add Google Calendar items to Student View
Google Calendar items that are incorporated into our plans would be good to have viewable when the students are viewing plans on their devices. Example, a Memory calendar that is updated in iCal, automatically updates a Google Calendar, of which the students will see what their Memory assignment would be when checking Planbook.

Make easy to add many assignments at once
It would be really awesome if the screen to enter assignments was in a Spreadsheet format (see http://web.peoriadesignweb.com/spreadsheet/index.php as an example). Then, a person could enter the Class, Unit, Type, Title, Starts on, Ends on, Total Points, and Lesson text all on in the spreadsheet without all the mouse clicking on buttons, etc. (which is web technology from the 90s). Even better, if a person already had such information in their own spreadsheet, then you could have the capability to copy the data from your own spreadsheet and paste it into the online spreadsheet. This would be so much faster!

Allow Google Calendar items below plans
I wish I could put my lesson plans above the Google Calendars. I love the integration with Google Calendars, but I would like the option to put the plans first, so I can avoid scrolling down.

Copy assigned unit with the lesson
When I copy a lesson within the same class, it should also copy the assigned unit. Otherwise I have to open the copied lesson and assign the unit EVERY time.

Update scores types in Assignments
I would like to be able to edit and add the categories in the assessment and assignments.
Also being able to only show classes with grades in my performance reports. I don't need to see recess 0% and lunch 0%.

More control over Lesson Heights
I would like to set the height of my lesson plans as one height, and the height for my events as a separate height. I hate that on days I have events (no school) that my lessons have this stair step look to them when looking at multiple classes. I would like to set that event space as a specific height and then set the height of my class lessons as different height so it looks more uniform. - Yes, I'm type A and like things to look orderly.

Separate grade categories within a class
I teach two languages and I have to report separately on speaking, listening, reading and writing. It would be nice to be able to create one class (English for example) and have separate sections of marks for each category as opposed to creating different classes for each category.
*Math also has several strands that must be reported on separately.2 votes -

Attach RECENT Google Documents
I like how we can attach Google Documents....but...what would be even better... Getting to the document you want can be a pain...especially if it's a document you've been recently working on. At the top of the upload screen...you should have another tab that linkes to "recent documents." Many times I'm working on documents while I'm doing lesson planning...this would save a lot of time attaching my document. To see an example, check out Google Classroom. When I go to post and assignment or annoucement...there are tabs at the top including "Drive" and "Most Recent Documents."

Keyboard shortcut to save/close lesson
When creating or editing numerous lesson plans in the desktop or laptop web browser, constantly switching from the keyboard to the mouse is inefficient and frustrating. The more that can be done directly from the keyboard, the better. At a minimum, it would be helpful to be able to save/close the lesson edit dialog without the mouse. A full set of keyboard hotkeys or shortcuts for lesson manipulation would be best.

Copy - Select multiple lessons
When in the class section and you show all lessons for importing a lesson, it would be great to click on the previous lesson and it automatically select that date as the starting date and then either ctrl click or shift click for the end range.

Exclude Google Calendar when printing
I LOVE that I can view my Google Calendar within my plans. Although when I print my plans for a sub, I really don't like that they see my personal calendar items. Please make it an option to not show calendar items when printing similar to how I can uncheck events or notes, when printing.

Unit plans to include lessons, assignments and assessments
When creating unit plans, I would love to be able to add my lessons, assignments and assessments, instead of having to go to a separate section. Maybe by offering a check box to indicate if this portion of the unit plan is a lesson, assignments or assessments.

Assignments types without weights
At this point, I cannot enter the type of assignment (classwork, homework, etc.) without assigning it a weighted percentage. I do not weight my assignments, but rather calculate final grades based on overall points earned/points possible. There should be the ability to assign the type of assignment without forcing you to weight them differently!

Quick add for students
There should be an option to "Save and add another" when adding students. The way it is set up now you have to click Save, then it takes you out of the popup box and you have to click add students again to add the next one. It would make for less clicking and a quicker process to add students!
