Do you need to review a single student's grades privately? In a typical Grade Book, pulling up a student's grades will display the grades of the entire class, which is not ideal for one-on-one meetings. In Brightspace, you can solve this privacy issue instantly. Simply use the Grade Book search option to filter the view. This action will hide all other student data, allowing you to focus only on the grades for the specific student you are meeting with.

Follow these steps to do it.

To display one row in the Grade Book:

  1. On the NavBar, click Grades.
  2. On the Enter Grades page, enter the first and last name of the desired student in the Search For field and then click on search icon.
  3. When done, you should only see the selected student.

Note: If you have more than one student with the same name, you can enter the 900 # of the desired student in the Search For field. Ultimately, your search results should yield the row with the desired student's record.
