This lesson explains how to configure a Performance Band Set when there are different score ranges for parent and sub assessments, windows, and grades or if the set should only apply to certain school years.
Before you Begin
This lesson assumes a custom Performance Band Set has already begin created. If one has not been created, take a look at Creating a Performance Band Set.

School Years
