Thank all of you for your hard work on the Portrait and Activity Pages. Your students and their parents will appreciate everything you have done to make our yearbook a wonderful memory for the kids. I am here to help you troubleshoot any final touches.
Easy Grade Pro v. 4
I have upgraded our site license to unlimited Mac/PC. This means you will be able to install EGP on
your home PC and share the files with your Mac at work. I have installed EGP v. 4 on the lab computers and will do so for your classroom computer as I receive requests. Go to the Applications Folder and select Easy Grade Pro 4.0. I have prepared an installation CD for everyone which includes the site license key. I have also attached a pdf of supporting documents. For those of you with completed yearbook pages, I suggest that your drag your gradebook file from to the server to the desktop and open it with the new version.
