This function is primarily used when a student switches classes mid-term, allowing the new teacher to see the previous grades from the old class. The teacher can choose which assignments or categories of grades to transfer from the previous class, depending on the situation. Once the scores have been transferred, the new teacher can access a the Transfer Scores page to view and potentially import grades from the previous class.
Assignment scores, standards scores, assignment comments and assignment flags are saved as part of the transfer process. Comments from the From Class teacher appear with the teacher's name at the end of the comment.
