Gradebook

1. Is it correct to say that a student got a written reprimand from their maths teacher in their gradebook for incorrect conduct like e.g. picking on classmates?

Make sure to put a little space after the number + .
In English, if you don't know the gender of someone you can write "their". Some people don't like this, though, so you can also write "his/her". E.g. "in his/her gradebook".
"Like" and "e.g." mean the same sort of thing, so you don't need to write both.

2. Do British/American teachers use on-line gradebooks to not only complete it withrecord marks but also make notes abouton students' behaviour? (like in our country? )

3. Does "he went over to the board / went up to the board to wipe it" sound good?

Both of these sound fine :)
If he was sitting down first, I would say "went up" because he has to stand up first.

4. Do British/American students get "conduct" marks when they are well or badly-behaved?

Feedback

For your 4th question, this depends on the school, not just the country. Fee-paying and non fee-paying schools may be different too.
It may also depend on which level of school it is - primary/elemtary, secondary/high school, etc.

At my school (in Scotland), if a student did something wrong this was fed back to the parent verbally (in person or over a phone call). We also have 'parents night' once every year - the parents come to the school and the teachers tell them how the student has done in class. This includes grades, behaviour and future work.

I'm really thankful to you for responding to my entry.
(It's impossible to really learn English without learning about English speaking cultures.)

You're most welcome.
I think that's true about any language :) Culture and language are entwined.
