"Yes.   There is a way to reset scores.  See FAQ: http://ribbonhero.com/faq.html Bad thing is that students won't easily be able to continue where they left off.      Any other teacher's using ribbon hero 2…"

"I found it over the summer and want to try it but haven't yet as we just started back Tues a week ago with kids. We have individual log in's so it wouldn't be an issue with having to reset for me though."

"I just figured it out. In case anyone else needs this info, you have to install it from here: http://www.ribbonhero.com/faq.html You cannot save the scores, but you can reset them for the next user. Not ideal, but better than nothing. "
