Why Teachers Need It

Key Benefits
- Teacher Name and School Name populate report headers automatically
- Grading Weights (WW%, PT%, Exam%) control the Gradebook's Final Grade calculation
- Passing Grade Threshold (default 75) controls PASSED/FAILED remarks
- School Year auto-populates relevant sheets
How It Works

- 2The Gradebook references these cells for weight calculations.

- 4Change any value and all dependent sheets update.
Example Workflow
“Your school changes the grading weights from 30/50/20 to 25/55/20. You open Settings, change the three weight cells, and every Final Grade in the Gradebook recalculates instantly.”
