# How do I write a late report card for a class that already ended?

> Score a class after it ended, from its register, so it stops showing under Needs evaluation.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * **Fixed date.** A late report card always carries the class's date. You can't change it.
  * **Remove repeats.** Every athlete marked Present or Late is added, even ones already scored. Remove anyone who already has a report card for this class, or they get a second one.
  * **Not published yet.** Saving clears the class from **Needs evaluation**. Families still don't see it until it is published, unless its template publishes on its own.
  * **Permission.** You need the **Record Evaluations** permission, on a plan that includes **Training**.
</Note>

**Where to find it.** Tap the class under **Needs evaluation** on the **Evaluations** page, or find it in **Programs** (choose **Past** for an earlier day). The register reads "This class has ended. Write a late report card, or restart it to keep evaluating." On a phone, the buttons are below the athlete list.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Tap Write a late report card">
    **New evaluation** opens, named after the program and class day, such as "Tumbling 1 - Sep 20, 2026". The **Date** is locked: "A report card for a class carries that class's day."
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the athletes">
    Everyone marked Present or Late is already listed. Tap the **X** on anyone who already has a report card for this class.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the template">
    The class's template, if it has one, is already picked in **Template (optional)**. Templates assigned to the program are listed under **For this program**, the rest under **All templates**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Score and mark">
    Score skills if you like, then give every athlete a mark. With no skills scored, no mark is suggested. To reward someone, tap **Add achievement or badge** ([how to award one](/coaches/coach-athletes-evaluations/award-achievement-or-badge)).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Tap **Save evaluation**. It stays grayed out until every athlete has a mark ("Choose a mark for \[athlete], or remove them.").
  </Step>
</Steps>

**What happens next.** The report cards are tied to the class, so it leaves **Needs evaluation** and they join that class's card on the **Evaluations** page. They start unpublished, so the class sits under "waiting to be published" until each one is published, unless the template shows "Families see this report card as soon as you submit." A present athlete you removed without scoring keeps the class flagging.

**Restart instead.** **Restart class** reopens the class so you can score from the register with **Write report cards** (tap **Start class** first if it never started). It needs one athlete marked present, and the class closes again an hour after the restart or its scheduled end, whichever is later.

**Not for a class?** For a past date with no class, use a [custom evaluation](/coaches/coach-athletes-evaluations/create-custom-evaluation).
