Standards Based Grading and Easy Grade Pro
To use Easy Grade Pro with School Loop, you must have version 4.0 or 4.1. It is also important to note that you must start a new gradebook following the directions here. If you attempt to use a previously created gradebook, you will not be successful. Be sure to follow the steps outlined on the Partner Gradebook page to switch from the School Loop Gradebook to Easy Grade Pro.
Note: An XML export from EGP is required for integration with School Loop. Users should check that XML exports are supported in future versions of EGP before upgrading.
