Merging Gradebook Category

When a long term substitute takes over a course section, they will need control over the gradebook from the previous teacher as well as the ability to add new gradebook assessments over the course of the year.

The process of merging gradebook categories allows the new teacher to copy gradebook categories that the original teacher was using in their gradebook.

In the Teacher Portal, navigate to the Gradebook Preferences page to view the “Category Merge” widget. Please note that each school has the flexibility to rename this page and add it to the Teacher Portal according to their preferences.
In the Original Category dropdown, select the name of a gradebook category that the previous teacher had created.
In the Merge To dropdown, select a gradebook category that the new teacher has created and click the merge button to merge the two gradebook categories. Otherwise, select Copy Original Category and click the merge button to associate the original gradebook category to the new teacher.

Note: MYP categories are not offered in the Merge To dropdown, because their possible points and weight come from the Mark Type. Move assessments into an MYP category one at a time instead.
