Inputting Grades

• If the assignment you are inputting the grade for is already in the system (via homework, agenda, etc.) locate the student and correct box and enter the points earned. Once you click outside of the box, it will auto-save.

• If the assignment you are inputting the grade for is not in the system (was an activity in class, a pop quiz, etc) click the +New Grade button at the top right of the screen.
  • Fill out the relevant fields:
    
    
    • • Name: This will be the title and how it will appear in the gradebook.
      • Select Grade Category: This will tell the ClassReach system the weight this grade has when calculating grade reports and transcripts.
      • Hide from Students: If you are not sharing the grades with the class at this time, this will allow you to hide the grade.
      • Extra Credit: Tell the ClassReach system if this is extra credit for when it is calculating grade reports and transcripts.
