Grading - Teacher Perspective

There are two main areas where teachers enter grades:

  • Gradebooks are where you enter assignment grades throughout a term. For example, you would enter grades for quizzes, tests, projects, and homework assignments in the gradebook. To access a gradebook, go to Faculty, select Classes, choose a class, then select Launch gradebook. For more information on entering assignment grades, see Working with Gradebook.

  • Grading is where you enter or calculate Report card grades at the end of a term, during a date range your Grading manager sets for the relevant grade plan. In Faculty, you can access Grading by selecting Classes, choosing a class, then selecting the Grading tab. You can also select My Day > Schedule & Performance and choose a Grade Plan from the Grading tile on the right side of the page. For more information on Report card grade entry, continue below.

Teachers can enter Report card grades for their students during grading periods configured by a Grading manager. Grading can be accessed from an individual course section or from a teacher's My Day. Every school's grading setup is different, so some of these steps may not apply to grading for your school.

Note: Grading takes place during time periods set by a school's grading manager. Please contact your school's Grading manager regarding issues involving Grade Plans.

  1. Select Faculty from the persona menu in the upper left. If you do not have the persona menu available, skip to the next step.

  2. Select Classes, then select the name of the course.

  3. Select Grading.

  4. Optional: Use Calculate to either use a pre-established Grading formula or use the available fields to create your own.

    Note: If you feel you should see a Grading formula but do not see it, please contact your school's Grading manager so they can check the grading setup for your school.

  5. Enter grades for students or update grades if needed after they are calculated.

    Tip: If a student has an incomplete grade, mark the box for Inc. This will translate to an I on their report card.

  6. Optional: If comments have been enabled for this class, select + Add in a comments column, enter your comments, then Save and close.

  7. Mark the box for Review when grades are ready to be reviewed by a Grading manager.

  1. Select Faculty from the persona menu in the top left.

    Tip: If you do not have the persona menu available, skip to the next step.

  2. Go to My Day and select Schedule & Performance. Under Grading, select a Grade Plan.

  3. Select the course name.

  4. Optional: Use Calculate to use a Grading formula to generate students' grades.

Once you have entered end-of-term grades for a class, your school might require additional approval. A Reviewer or Grading manager will need to complete this part of the process.
