Since reworking the web site, I knew the G&A web site sorely needed to be improved, but I put it off for just a few more weeks. I just did not want to tackle it. Emails from visitors prompted me to go ahead and get it done. I knew it was a mess. Every time someone asked me a question about the Grades and Attendance files, I went to my web site to investigate an answer, and even I had trouble finding pages or files in the G&A web site.
I worked on it two or three days. I added a 4th row to the menu. I added link-circles and bunny trails to pages. I added zip versions of the files for those who need a fast download. I added more images. I added the unweighted points version, a file which I somehow neglected to add in the past. G&A web site is improved, but I know it could be better. It will have to do for now. I’ve got a basket full of other homeschool web related stuff to do at DY.
Grade Timing
I did address a long overdue issue. Last year I added quarterly and 6-week grade averages to the subject worksheets. I don’t think I ever documented how to make the best use of that feature. So if you want to see, please visit Grade Timing. The page has a full sized image that I hope is not too confusing. The image encloses the cells in colors related to the quarterly or 6-week periods and there are two tables telling which rows add to which average periods.
Weighing Grades
I added a web page that is about weighing grades. It discusses weighing parts of a test and parts of a subject. I hope it is clear enough. Sometimes these things are hard to explain.

Donna you are just the Cat’s Meow of homeschooling parents.
Thank you so much. I’m still touring the site to see all that you’ve been up to and what additions you’ve made.

😀 Wow! I am enjoying looking at all the new things you’ve done. You are such a blessing to all of us! Thanks!
I am going to try using Grades and Attendance our next school year. I do have one question though, is there anyway to print out a “report card” every nine weeks?
Blessings!
