Why Get “This” Grading Spreadsheet?
The feature I’m proudest of is the Summary page — one page per student, where grades and attendance get averaged automatically. It’s a “live” total, so it updates the moment you enter a grade. Print or email any student’s page to yourself or the schoolboard whenever you need it.
$29.95, one time — then a free copy every school year after.
For report cards, you get averages broken down every way you’d want them:
- Student average by quarter, by subject
- Student average by subject, for the whole year
- Student average by term, across all subjects
- Class average by subject
- Class average by term, across all subjects
- Class average for all subjects, for the whole year
Teaching more than one grade? You’ll want a separate spreadsheet file for each one, so you see averages by grade instead of the whole class. Need a clean start at any point? Head to the Datasheet and click “Get A Fresh Copy” under the student list.
Attendance is just as easy. Fill in one cell for the day, and it automatically marks every student present (saves you from doing it by hand) — you only touch the ones who weren’t. Mark a student absent, tardy, or half-day and the cell changes color, so it’s easy to spot at a glance. Add a note for any student, any week — why they were late, what happened, whatever you want on record. If a student starts mid-year or leaves before it ends, just enter the date and the tracking picks up or stops right on schedule.

Technical Requirements
NOTE On MICROSOFT 365:
This is a subscription only and needs a reliable, full-time internet connection. The subscription comes with the option to install the desktop version, but it also needs an internet connection to continue to function. DO NOT PURCHASE OFFICE 365 IF YOU WILL NOT HAVE RELIABLE AND CONSISTENT INTERNET! This is true for any type of device or computer.
OneDrive Option (For Advanced Excel Users)
This spreadsheet will operate fine through OneDrive Online. (click the link and sign up if you do not have a Microsoft account). You will be able to share and/or open the spreadsheet on any device that’s connected to the internet, and from anywhere. (Only through a browser, Not the app)
What kind of tablet?
If you are considering whether to invest in a tablet or iPad, I would highly recommend an Android tablet. The file handling limitations of the iPad makes it more difficult to work with saving this spreadsheet file to the device and then running it with Excel. iPad attempts to run the spreadsheet with its own built-in program, but it does not work properly, and our support does not cover issues from using Apple’s Numbers app, or Google Sheets. If you already have an iPad or would like to purchase one, that is fine, just make sure you first open WPS Office or Excel and then open the grading spreadsheet from inside WPS Office or Excel.
