Mark Type
Mark Types determine what grades are available to appear on the Report Cards, Progress Reports, or Interims. Mark Types are organized by Mark Type Headings.

Topic is what appears on the reports for the name of the grade.

Notes is additional information about the grade.  Certain report cards may make use of the Notes field, but it is usually only for internal use.

Score Entry Type determines what sort of values may be entered.  

Grade Type determines  what this type of score means.  The available options for the Grade Type changes depending on whether you choose Report Card, Progress Report, or Interim:

    - Grade Type - Report Card
    - Grade Type - Progress Report
    - Grade Type - Interim 

For each mark type that you set up, you also need to specify Mark Type Marking Period details.
