Every single teacher in PGCPS must install this extension! It is the only way to make SchoolMax actually usable. Smaxer saves me so much time and frustration! Here are the highlights: - An arrow key function (I'd install it just for this) - Automatically setting gradebook to all classes - Easy access to schedules in gradebook - Automatically sets each students' attendance button to present - Ability to import spreadsheets for grading - SO MUCH MORE

Not sure why I'm just finding out about this but... I love it! Now, I'd love to be able to sync my SchoolMax Grade book with my Google Classroom grade book.
