The following Grade-related Settings are found under `Administration > Settings > System > Administration`.

AllowNewGradeLevels
    Toggle to `True` to be able to add new Grade Levels in the Lookup Codes. Add new Grade Levels or update descriptions at `Administration > Setup > Settings > Lookup Codes` in the People section. Any system Grade Levels (those that can't be deleted) will be included in annual automatic Grade Update. Any new Grade Levels added WILL NOT be included.

GradeUpdateDate
   Update this setting to the date that every child's Grade will be automatically updated to the next Grade or "Class of" year. The default is July 1 (must be entered as Month *name* followed by Day)

   .. note::
       Grade will only be updated through the Promotion automated process if the person being promoted does not already have a grade on their profile AND the Involvement they are being added to is a Main Fellowship with a Grade value on the `General > Settings` tab.

HideGradeLegacy
    When this setting has a value of `True`, the Grade (legacy) field on a person record will be hidden.
