How to Enter Grades for Tests, Homework, and Projects

You can enter grades for tests, homework, and projects in two ways:

1. Per Class: Where you can enter the grades for all students of a class.  

2. Per Student: Where you can enter grades for individual students.

Entering Grades Per Class

Step 1: Select the main menu, then "Reports".

Step 2: Select the "Grades" report.

Step 3: Select the year and semester of the class.

Step 4: Select the "Per Class" mode.

Step 5: Select the class from the dropdown. You can use the track filter to filter the class list.

You will now see all the names of the students enrolled in the selected class. If you don't see names of students that you think should appear, first check that you selected the right class, year, and semester. If you still don't see them, ensure that they are enrolled in the class. For more information on enrolling students in a class, see the appropriate help tutorial in the "Class Enrollment" section.

• The contact card icon next to the student's name will open the student's profile page.
• The checkboxes are used for emailing students. For more information on emailing students from reports, see the appropriate help tutorial in the "Email" section.

Column Details:

1. Attendance Grade: This grade is based on the percentage of attendance and the value of each attendance status. For more information on attendance grades, see the appropriate help tutorial in the "Class Grades" section. This grade can only be edited in the "Performance Report" or by changing the student's attendance status for some lessons. For more information on the "Performance Report," see the appropriate help tutorial in the "Reports" section.

2. Homework and Projects Columns: This is where you can enter the students' scores for homework and projects.

3. Tests Columns: This is where you can enter the students' scores for tests.

• If you don't see the columns for the class's homework, projects, or tests, go to the selected class's weights page to create them.

Step 6: Select the cell in the appropriate column and row to edit and enter the student's score. Press the "Tab" key on your keyboard to jump to the next student's cell, or select anywhere on the page to exit the cell.

• This page auto-saves, so you don't need to save your changes manually.

4. Grade Column: This column shows the student's cumulative grade, calculated based on the attendance grade and all the scores entered, according to their weights. This column cannot be edited. After making changes to scores, you need to refresh the page by selecting the refresh icon to update this column's calculation of the grade.

5. Grade Override Column: Here you can override the student's grade by selecting the cell and entering a number higher or lower than the calculated grade. You can enter any value here, higher or lower than the actual calculated grade. There is an option to show this change on transcripts and report cards. When issuing transcripts or report cards for students, there is an option to indicate when a class grade has been overridden. An up or down arrow will display next to the grade based on whether the override value is higher or lower than the actual grade. For more information on showing grade changes on transcripts, see the appropriate help tutorial in the "Transcript" section.

• Note: You can only enter grades in the "Per Class" mode. You cannot enter grades in the "Per Student" mode.

Step 7: When you finish entering grades for a class, you can navigate to the next class with the arrows or by selecting another class from the class dropdown.

Entering Grades Per Student

To enter grades per student, you'll need to go to the student's grades page. You can get to the student's grades page from the classes or from the student.

From Classes:

Step 1: Go into the desired class, and select the "Class" menu, then "Students".

Step 2: Select the "Grades" button for the desired student.

From Students:

Step 1: Select "Students" from the main menu.

Step 2: Select the desired student.

Step 3: Select the "Student" menu, then "Classes".

Step 4: Select the "Grades" button for the desired class.

Both methods will bring you to the same page, where you can enter the student's scores for that class.

Step 5: Select the cell to edit it and enter the student's score.

• Note: If your school allows students to log into the system, they will be able to see their scores for tests, homework, and projects, but they will not be able to see the notes section at the top, as these are for teachers' private use.
