School software for Alberta schools
Choose Alberta when you create your school, and Onflows sets up Kindergarten to Grade 12, 2 terms, the Provincial Achievement Test Grade 6, Provincial Achievement Test Grade 9 and Diploma Exams years and the board's grading before you type anything.
Alberta Education curriculum
We have not yet checked this setup against the board's own published scheme. It is a sensible default: check the grading and subjects in your first week and change what does not match.

Grading, the way Alberta grades
The academic year runs September to June. Each stage gets its own scale, and marks entered once become the gradebook, the progress card and the parent's screen.
| Stage | Scale | Grades | Pass mark |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elementary | Provincial percentageA default to check | A, B, C, D, F | 50% |
| Junior High | Provincial percentageA default to check | A, B, C, D, F | 50% |
| Senior High | Alberta percentage | Marks only | 50% |
The year's assessments, already planned
These arrive with their weights, so the term result adds up without a spreadsheet beside it. This plan is a common pattern rather than the board's prescribed one; change it to match yours.
| Term | Assessment | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Semester 1 | Classwork | 25% |
| Semester 1 | Final Exam | 25% |
| Semester 2 | Classwork | 25% |
| Semester 2 | Final Exam | 25% |
Subjects at every stage
