We should be able to hide all percentages in the student gradebook.

I am thrilled that we can now present the cumulative grade, and an assignment grade based on a label (letter grade), but in the student gradebook, we were hoping that the % Grade would go away. We want a student to see a B and not a decimal approximation of that B. Those decimal approximations lead to conversations about a grade to a 1/10th or 1/100th of a point rather than the deeper broader conversations about what makes a B or a B+. We are trying to educate our students and parents in how to think broadly, and having a % Grade per assignment is hindering that ability and confusing students when we tell them they earned a letter grade.

      Hi Folks -

      Happy to say that this is something that can be accommodated. A little while back, we released some additional default gradebook settings that prevent parents and students from seeing percentages in the 'See grade detail' experience.

      You can find this setting in Academics > Grades > Grading setup > Gradebook settings. I've attached an image of the setting to this update.

      Seconded! I'm also like the option to hide the cumulative grade by assignment type as well.
