SimpleGradebook
SimpleGradebook is an online gradebook for teachers, students, parents, and administrators, available on Android, iOS, and the web. Teachers can create classes, provide assignment feedback, use rubrics and BC Ministry performance scales, and support student self-assessment and individualized programs. They can copy assignments, export gradebooks to Excel, print report cards, and generate missing-task reports. Parents and students can see grades, missing tasks, teacher feedback, and weekly report cards; Pro adds attendance views, messaging, and assignment uploads. Pro also includes attendance, parent notifications, referrals, observations, attachments, and printable class rosters. Administrators and counsellors can manage multiple schools and review at-risk reports and student watch lists. The free plan is free. School Pro is $3, paid once, and Single Teacher Pro is $40, paid once. User data is stored and processed on servers in Canada; the privacy policy describes encryption and account safeguards. The terms say the service is not a replacement for official school records or institutional systems.
