Crystal,
What software is your front office using. We are using School Minder and SM doesn't care what the teachers nametheir gradebook files. Maybe you are using a different front office solution.

My district presets the name for files before the teachersupload their grade books. They are told NEVER to change this name,because this is what is used when the grades are downloaded for reportcards. We too use the attendance option, which is great, as long as theserver is running. When it isn't, there are problems.

Glen,
How can I go in and "see"otherattendance? Nobody has told usabout this as far as I know. Wewere also told the same thing about being able to send grades and someof ourchanges were not accepted because people had named theirsincorrectly. We have had some major issues as I thinkmost of the systemhas. Maybethings are getting better. :-)

Are there more issues inGQ 10than previous versions or is my district just getting a little overthetop? For example, we use gradequick to send attendance inthemorning. GQ now has a feature that allows other gradebooksto"see" that information in their attendance. This seems to meagood way to verify attendance across the day. But some people don'tlikeit. What are your thoughts?
Our district has told us we are to name our gradebooks in acertainformat. At my school we were told this is so gradebooks for acertainclass could be found easily. At a friend's school they were toldthatthey would not be able to "send" grades unless they were namedinthis format. We download rosters that are updated over our StudentInformationSystem module. Mine update just fine by the roster code even thoughInamed mine incorrectly (I downloaded my rosters and named them beforeIgot the memo, so much for being an early adopter!)
My last question is about the password on the GQ login. I knowthisis built in if you have a site license for GQ10 (we do). My issue isthatnow we have TWO login's and passwords for GQ. The first is to log ontothe network drive that holds the GQ program. The second is the GQloginfor the now password protected folders on the GQ drive. Twopasswordsseem needlessly redundant since it seems more likely that teacherswillactually just leave GQ open all the time now. Anyone knowaboutdeactivating the second password on the network install? (not thatthe ITpeople are ever opposed to redundant passwords!
BTW, my true GQ annoyance is that they have now gone through the 5thversionwhere the print screens don't work well. Up to version 5 you couldprintblank rosters or gradebooks using only the keyboard. Now you have tousethe mouse because the "OK" button won't work with the"Enter"key. Also you can't scroll with a wheel mouse onthe "PrintPreview" screens.
Any magical answers??
