It is recommended that users always compare the version number on any
previously installed Elementary Report Card program software (at
school or at home) with the most recent update indicated below. If the
software has been installed on the computer already, logon at school as
"Teacher" (with the appropriate password) and start the
program by clicking on the following: "Start" button,
"Programs", "Elementary Report Card", and
"Elementary Report Card" menu items. When the
first main menu screen loads, look for the current version number which is located
just below The Winnipeg School Division logo of the installed software. If
this version number differs (in either number or letter) from the latest update noted below, it is
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that the software be upgraded.

Very little change will be required for past
users. |

spell checking would scan all students'
anecdotal
portions
rather than having to scan
individual students. |
