MarkBook is the Kinderpedia gradebook for schools: teachers enter marks in a grid, leaders check them, and the school turns them into report cards that parents can read. It opens inside Kinderpedia with the same school account, and you can set it up for any grading system, from British and Cambridge grades to US letter grades or a national scale. This article is for directors, teachers and administrators, and takes you straight to the full documentation and the video tutorials.
