How do I add comments to a progress report?
After an Admin has created progress reports for a school, teachers at the school can enter comments for the students in their classes. At the beginning of each academic term, teachers receive an email notification reminding them to add comments to progress reports.
Notes:
- Teachers may enter comments in Spanish or English. Other languages and Emojis are not supported.
- To enter comments, your Mastery Connect account must be configured with a SIS integration.
- After an administer generates a progress report, the term closes and teachers can no longer enter data. To reopen a progress report for comments, an administrator may reopen the progress report.
In the Global Navigation menu, click the Trackers link [1]. Then click a tracker name link [2].
Open Progress Reports
Click the More Options button [1]. Click the Reporting option [2], then click the Progress Reports link [3].
View Available Progress Reports
In the Progress Reports Available page, you can view progress reports that are available for comments [1] as well as the term they cover [2]. You can also view the trackers used in the progress report [3].

To change the sort order of students, select one of the following options from the Sort drop-down menu [3]:
