Student Roster

Gradebook->Rosters->Regular View

This screen allows you to quickly and easily maintain your students

• Gradebook ID - This is the ID that you use inside of your Gradebook. This ID is only viewed in YOUR Gradebook and will not anywhere else in the system. The Gradebook Student ID defaults to the ID on file with Central Office. However, you are allowed to change the ID to any value that you desire. For instance, if you have 10 students in your class and you would rather the ID's be 1 though 10, then you can manually change the ID's to the appropriate values. You can also do this automatically by entering a 1 in the top right field labeled "Starting Id Number" and then hit "Go". This will update all the ID's for you with greater ease.
• Gradebook Name - This is the name of the student that you see in the Gradebook. This name is only viewed in YOUR Gradebook and will not anywhere else in the system. The Gradebook Student Name defaults to the Name on file with Central Office.
• Group - This is the Workgroup that this student is assigned to. Please see the Workgroups page for more information.
• Accepted - The Gradebook always searches your student's schedule to see if a student has dropped, or been added to your class. When a student' status has changed, Gradebook will show either a "New" or "Dropped" message next to the student's name on the Assignment Spreadsheet screen. When you accept a student's status, the message will go away.
• Show - All student's, whether they are active in class or not, are shown on the Assignment Spreadsheet screen. If you would like to not show some of your student's, then you can remove the check mark from the student.
• Responsible Teacher - Allows shared Gradebook rosters to be divided up. By default all teachers in a Gradebook can access each student. The 'responsible teacher' can limit each student to being controlled by 1 of the teachers in the Gradebook 
  • Teachers will see only the students they are responsible for
  • Teachers can only take attendance and give assignment grades to students they are responsible for
  • Any student set to 'All Teachers' can be viewed by, have attendance take for, and grades given to by every teacher with access to the Gradebook
