WARNING!!!
Teacher Created Comment Codes
Many teachers have created their own grade
book comments. If the abbreviated comment code of the teacher created
comment is the same as the District comment code, the District values will
be applied to the grade book when entering the code in the assignment
grid.
The comment created by the teacher will need to be
changed by going into Grade Book Set Up and editing the comment code
abbreviation. This change in the code will be reflected in previous
assignments, but the value will remain the same.
