In ProgressBook, the terminology is a little different than you might be use to. They have a feature which is called Lessons for posting Lesson Plans that would be perfect for indicating your weekly plans for you class, including a way to easily show what state standards you are covering. However, information posted in the Lessons area are not available to the public/parents, only other staff members. This means you will need to post weekly "lesson plan summaries" using ProgressBook's Homework feature. In ProgressBook, Homework is a message, not graded entry in your grade book. ProgressBook calls anything that you take a grade for an Assignment.

Here is the summary of this confusing topic:
PB's Lessons - Not using until they can be seen by parents
PB's Homework - A messaging tool to parents that we will post weekly plans
PB's Assignments - Anything that you take a grade for and score in your grade book

Overview to the Logan-Hocking School District's ProgressBook Parent Access site

Directions for accessing a Parent Access Login Name and resetting the password. Please DO NOT provide Login Names or reset password from a phone or email request, only in person requests.

All graded assignments should have the marks/grades posted to the Parent Access website. If you are recording a grade in your gradebook, then it needs to be available to the Parent Access website. These directions mainly show how to check that your all your assignments have marks posted to the web, but the first step below does show the key checkbox that you need to mark when added a new assignment.

When a students is withdrawn from one of your classes in eSIS, a red W appears next to their name in your ProgressBook grade book. Students are not automatically deleted from your roster for many reasons. First, this lets you, the teacher, know that the student is officially withdrawn from this class. Second, many students withdraw from the district only to return a few months later. Third, students that withdraw need nine week and current grades reported to their new district. Last, the student may be transferring to another class in the building or district and you may be able to transfer the student's grades to the next class.

Withdrawn students, with a red W, continue to show on the class roster as well as progress reports until they are hidden in your class. Teachers should update their class rosters on a regular basis to hide withdrawn students. Below are directions for how to do this.

Elementary Intervention Teachers have multiple sections of each class, one for each classroom teacher that their students are mainstreamed with. These directions show you how to organize & rename classes, share classes with the proper teacher and group them together for yourself.

Sorry for how many steps there are, but this should only need to be done once a year. This will allow classroom teachers to give assignments to just the students they have mainstreamed in their class instead of all of your students in that grade/subject.
