Deleting Class Files

If the student name and data files already exist, new blank files will not be created that could destroy good data. If your data is saved on the hard drive and discover that your files are last year's students, use these delete selections to remove the old student data.

Some secondary teachers have a mixture of full year and semester courses. They should copy all classes to the new semester. Then delete the old semester classes. Then add the new semester classes, with the new students. This way you can keep the complete student data for the first semester, and have the correct list of students for the second semester.

Delete One Class

Select the class, then mark the check box, enter your serial number as the password, and then click the Ok button. All information about the class (student names, I.D.'s, grades, and attendance data) will be removed. Use this selection with great care. Teachers who have a mixture of classes of different durations usually use this selection. For example, some classes may only meet for one term (quarter), while others meet all year. If you need to have a record of these grades, make sure you make a detailed printout of the classes before deleting them. Your serial number is displayed on the Help Menu - About Screen.

Deleting Old Student Data

If you used Gradebook Power last school year, and your student data files were saved on the hard drive, delete your old files before continuing. If you are starting a new school year, delete all class files. If you are in the middle of your current school year, delete only the old second semester files. Mark the check box, enter your serial number as the password, and then click the Ok button. Your serial number is displayed on the Help Menu - About Screen.
