Adding Classes

Classes are associated with courses, so courses must be set up prior to adding classes.

Classes are imported into GradeBook from StudentInformation, but it may be necessary to create courses and/or classes for some teachers. For example, you may create unique classes for special education teachers with the students with whom they are working in order to give the teacher access to the student progress reports and the ability to create forms in SpecialServices Classic. Also, coaches may need classes with their team members in order to monitor academic eligibility. In most circumstances, changes to courses should be made in StudentInformation.
