Updating Classes

Classes are imported into GradeBook from StudentInformation, so changes should be made in that application. If you created unique classes for special education teachers or coaches, make changes as follows:

1.On the Administrator Home Page, below Annual Setup, click Classes.

2.On the Classes screen, search for the class that you want to update.

a.You must enter information in at least one of the following search fields:

In the School drop-down list, select the appropriate school building.

In the Teacher Last Name field, enter the full or partial last name of the teacher associated with the class for which you are searching.

In the Course field, enter the full or partial name of the course with which the class is associated.

b.To limit search results to only classes that do not have students enrolled in the banner, select the Classes With No Students option checkbox.

If you do not select this option, search results include both classes with and without students enrolled.

c.Click Go.

A list of classes displays matching the search criteria entered. If no search results are returned, the message “No Matches Found” displays.

3.Beside the class you want to edit, click inset_2.jpg.
