I think that is a great idea. We have a grading system in our state but there have been many bugs which have caused entire classes to disappear. A backup like this would be a good feature.

Don't most districts have an SIS where teachers are required to track grades and attendance? I wouldn't enter all of that information again in gradebook which is my personal software. I am truly curious as I assumed everyone used a district wide application for those things.

A standards based grade book would be great.

I would love an attendance tracking feature also!

gradebook!!!!!
IEP objectives
accommodations and modifications

YES, that would be FANTASTIC.

Allow users to upload class rosters to track daily attendance for each of the periods. They would be able to track absences, tardies, as well early checkouts. The ability to add enrolled or withdrawal dates would be a great help too. It would be like a one stop shop for teachers and administrators.

I understand the desire to "keep it simple" and just be really good at one thing. I love planbook for planning. However, teachers never just do one thing. We need to be able to combine our efforts so we can prepare for comprehensive evaluations, parent conferences and recording data for our most vulnerable students. Once we plan a lesson, then teach it, me must be able to record how our kids did! You have a list of all of the standards. Could you add a data entry in that part of planbook for our student's names and then a few cells we could name? For example, I might use: above, meets standard, approaching standard, below. Then I want to be able to auto fill cells next to students name, sort them by ability, and be able to make my own comments. I would also like to be able to print this. This addition would make Planbook so powerful. There is an app called "Confer" which tries to do this, but falls too short for me to really get on board. They have the technology / code I'm talking about. Maybe you could chat? Just an idea.

i want a grade book

With all due respect to those of you asking for this, I think branching into a gradebook component is going to be a grave mistake for Planbook. It will divide their attention into two fairly big tasks--lesson planning and grade recording. Up to this point the great strength of Planbook has been it's responsiveness to teachers. The planbook still has many changes/upgrades that need urgent attention. I fear this endeavor is going to pull and thin the resources with the result that we will have two weaker products instead of one really great one.

A gradebook would be great. Also for bilingual standards.

I would love a grade book I would pay more for it!

A gradebook to which I can import my rosters from an excel spreadsheet

I love this idea and a checklist for oral assessments

A gradebook would be AMAZING!

I would love this option.

Add a gradebook feature.

I would like to be able to enter my students into each class and then when I plan the standards I would like to be able to assess each student according to those standards -- achieved, mastered, etc. also then generate reports - by class, by grade, by student..

I agree, grading and seating also anecdotal notes to assign to students would be perfect.

Add a simple gradebook feature. My school does not have an online gradebook for k5-2.
