Sections are used to create unique instances of a course that is taught to multiple groups of students. For example, if a teacher teaches 6th grade PE twice a day, the section number allows the teacher to distinguish between the two classes.

This name comes from the Course Catalog. If a name has been changed in the Course Catalog, the system administrator must run the Update Demographics tool on the Tools Menu to update the course name in the grade book.

Terms Taught

Indicates the terms during which the selected course meets. This is crucial when printing Report Cards.
