How do I create a progress report?
A progress report is a set of PDF files containing standards-based, end-of-term data for each student. You can customize the report by entering a report title, an optional footer, and specifying whether the reports are by school or by grade. You can specify up to four academic terms for which to capture progress report data.
After creating a progress report, you can generate the progress report for terms that are closed. If a term is not yet closed, you can generate a sample progress report.
Note: To create progress reports, you must have one of the following Mastery Connect user roles: District Administrator, Limited District Admin, School Administrator, or Limited School Admin. Learn more about roles and permissions.
