Everyone around a student sees the same record
Most gradebooks stop at the teacher. Admins, teachers and families each get their own view of the same records, and you set how much each one sees.
Teachers
Their classrooms and their gradebooks, nothing else.
- Grades, attendance and assignments in their classrooms
- Feedback on any grade, attendance record or student
- Printable gradebooks, rosters and grade sheets
Admins
The whole school in one view, and the settings behind it.
- School-wide grade coverage and attendance standing
- Grading scale, categories, terms and absence codes
- Invitations, roles and classroom assignments
Guardians
Read-only access to their own children, no one else's.
- Grades, attendance, schedule and due dates
- Teacher feedback, with replies if you allow them
- Nothing to install, nothing to change

Aiden mixed up the elimination steps on the last two problems. The method is there, it is the sign changes that slipped.

Thank you. We will work through those tonight. Is there a practice set he can retry?
- JCMr. ChenTeacherWed 8:02am
Just attached one to the assignment. Re-do any six and I will regrade.
Visible to this student's teachers and guardians. Nobody else.
Keep the conversation where it started
Questions and replies stay with the grade, attendance entry or student they're about. The right people get a notification in the app and by email, and the school decides whether guardians can reply.
Grades and assignments
Add context to a grade or answer a question without losing track of the assignment.
Attendance
Add a note to an absence and ask a guardian to confirm it, without playing phone tag.
Student notes
Share a note with colleagues without putting it in the gradebook.
Know what needs attention before anyone asks
One dashboard per role, built around the question that role asks. Nothing to configure, no widgets to arrange.

Attention first, not lists first
Grades awaiting entry, recent absences and new family replies rise to the top. When nothing needs you, the section is gone.
Today and the next two weeks
Classes meeting today and assignments due, in your school's timezone, in the order they happen.
School-wide standing
Grade distribution, attendance over the last 30 days and how much of the gradebook is filled in.
A term of attendance at a glance
Present, tardy and absent as a heatmap, so a pattern shows up before it becomes a problem.
A gradebook that keeps up with you
A real grid, not a form. Type, tab, and move on while weighted categories do the arithmetic behind you.
Keyboard from end to end
Tab and arrow between cells down a whole roster without touching the mouse.
Undo as far back as you need
Multi-level undo and redo, so a mistyped column is never a rebuild.
Saves itself
Every entry saves as you go. No save button, no lost period.
Weighted categories, live
Set Tests at 40% and Daily at 30%, and every average updates the moment a score lands.

Everything a small school runs on
The admin work that eats your evenings, cleared out.
Attendance built for real timetables
Custom absence codes, class periods with per-day patterns, and tardies counted as attended. A few seconds per class.
Transcripts and report cards as PDFs
A transcript from grades and attendance already on file, or a batch of report cards at once. If one student fails, it tells you which.
Bring your roster in
Upload a CSV, review what matched, and let the import run in the background.
Schedules per student
Generate a printable schedule from a student's classroom enrolment.
Print and export
Printable gradebooks and grade sheets, plus CSV exports for rosters and attendance.
Notifications that reach people
In-app and by email, so a reply does not sit unread until the next parent evening.
What teachers say once they have switched
Two people who record grades and attendance every week.
SimpleGrader is the most efficient and intuitive grading software I’ve ever used. With increasing demands on teachers, it’s a must for any campus—freeing up staff time to focus on what truly impacts student performance.
Paul Rayburn
Founder at The Well Literacy Center
I used to dread recording grades and attendance in clunky software. SimpleGrader makes grading flexible and attendance effortless. It’s lived up to its name by simplifying my workflow and giving me back time and energy.
