Skyward's "NEW" Button Options

Skyward has added some new features that are very helpful when adding grades for students who have changed classes or who are new to the district.  This will now enable you to have a student's full average at the semester even if they came in mid year from another district.  If a student has changed sections or move in to the district, you will now see 5 options when you click the "NEW" button beside a student's name.  It is important that you know and use the correct options. Below are videos that will help explain several of the options you have to choose from.
