- 33. Easy Grade ProProgress Reports on the MAHS WebsiteGENERAL NOTESWe recommend that you update your progress reports on a regular basis in order to keep them current. You should attempt to update them once a week, every Friday.Each time you create new progress reports, you should upload them to the website. By just simply creating them in EGP, they are not being updated on the web. If you have no updates, it is a good idea to re-load what is already there, so that it updates the “update” date on the Security and Sign in page. This helps to keep the students and parents from asking when it will be updated.As you complete and learn the update process, you will be able to update and upload with ease in about 5 minutes or less.33
- 34. Easy Grade ProProgress Reports on the MAHS WebsiteTO UPDATEOpen EGP and follow the CREATE PROGRESS REPORTS and SAVING PROGRESS REPORTS directions. This is a good time to change report option choices if you wish to.SKIP the create a new folder step. You never have to do this again. EGP will automatically overwrite the old and save your updated reports to the same folder each time. Just click SAVE and the new reports will overwrite the old ones. Click YES to any warnings or Alerts. Follow the directions for POSTING TO THE WEB.Your new reports will overwrite the old reports.34
