Safety Factor

When assignment grades are saved, a dialog box is displayed if any students exceed the number of points possible on an assignment. This is a safety factor percentage of 0. By increasing the safety factor, the dialog box will only be displayed when student grades exceed the total points plus the safety factor percentage. The maximum allowed safety factor is 30%

Letterhead Drop

This spinner setting allows the top line of the report to be lowered up to 2 inches. This option allows extra space for official school letterhead to be used for individual and elementary reports.
