Gradekeeper
What it is
Gradekeeper helps teachers manage grades, attendance, seating charts, reports and student progress. Its gradebook displays students, assignments, scores and grades for the current term, and recalculates grades when information changes. The attendance grid records absences and tardies, with options to mark non-class days and choose displayed weekdays. Teachers can print reports and email progress reports after configuring email addresses and mail settings.
The Google edition can open Classroom classes and sync students, assignments and scores while retaining Gradekeeper additions such as attendance and seating charts. Web editions save classes to Dropbox, Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive. Gradekeeper also works with Online Grades and SchoolSpeak to post grades for parents and students to access securely. It runs on web, Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. Pricing starts at $20 for a one-time single-user license; school and district licenses are also available. A 30-day trial is listed, but there is no free plan.
