The Toddle gradebook, with the views it is missing — and a way to project it. Built for schools, and it sends your students' data precisely nowhere.
Chrome and Chromium browsers · going on the Chrome Web Store shortly, and it will be one click
Toddle shows a standards-based rubric as one icon per student, and you open a side panel to read each one. This puts one column per standard on the grid, with every student's descriptor visible at once and the full standard text on hover.
One switch in the Toddle header hides student flags everywhere: the gradebook, Attendance, the class portfolio, submissions, search results, profile headers. It stays on as you move around, so you arm it before a lesson rather than remembering in the moment.
Student × assessment × standard × rating × submission status, in one click. Generated in your browser and saved by your browser — it never passes through a server of ours, because there isn't one.
The flag switch
Toddle marks students with flags. They are useful — that is the point of them — and they are exactly what you do not want on a projector, in a screen share with a parent, in a lesson observation, or in a screenshot pasted into a planning document. One switch takes them off the screen.
Students stay identifiable to you — you are still teaching, and a gradebook of anonymous rows is no use to anyone. It is the flag that comes off the screen, because that is the piece of information the room should not be reading over your shoulder.
Toddle draws the gradebook on an HTML canvas, so a flag there cannot be hidden with styling. The extension empties the flag out of the cell before the browser paints it, and hides the ones Toddle renders as ordinary page elements everywhere else.
It stays on. The setting persists as you move around Toddle and across browser sessions, so it is something you arm before a lesson rather than something you have to remember at the worst possible moment.
The switch shows its state.It sits in the Toddle header and reads as on or off at a glance — check it before you share, the same way you check the right window is selected.
It hides flags. It does not hide names, and it does not stop anyone opening a student's profile deliberately. It works by changing what Toddle draws, which means it depends on Toddle's own markup and a Toddle release could change that. Arm it before you share, check the switch is on, and treat it as a good lid — not as a compliance control and not as a substitute for your school's safeguarding practice.
Install
It lives on the Chrome Web Store, so there is nothing to download and nothing to configure. The only question is whether you are installing it for yourself or for a staff room.
For a teacher
No files to download, no Developer mode, nothing to unzip. Updates arrive on their own, the way every other Chrome extension does.
Tell me when it is liveFor a school
Because it is on the Chrome Web Store, IT can force-install it to a teaching organisational unit by its extension ID — the standard route, with no self-hosted package to maintain and no Developer mode on anyone's machine. Nothing for staff to click, and updates arrive on their own.
We will send you the ID, the console steps, and the full answer to "what can this thing see?" — which somebody will ask, and should.

The flag switch protects a student, so it is not behind a price and never will be. The gradebook columns and the CSV export are the time saving, and that is what a licence pays for.

For whoever has to sign this off
If your IT team would rather verify this than take our word for it, a Chrome extension is a folder of readable JavaScript — they can unpack the installed package and read every line of it. We will also answer specific questions atsupport@nyuchi.com.
Worth knowing
Toddle does not publish an API for this, so the extension reads the same internal interface the Toddle web app uses, reverse-engineered from the app's own requests. That works well and costs one request per assessment rather than one per student — but it also means a Toddle release can break it, usually by renaming something.
When that happens the extension falls back to its own table rather than breaking the gradebook, and tells you when something could not be expanded rather than quietly showing you less. Report a break and we will chase the rename.
