Entering Nine Weeks Grades & Comments

Directions for entering Nine Weeks Grades and Comments

37 - First a problem

If you have grouped two or more classes together to use common assignment lists, shared classes or because the classes are taught at the same time, you will not be able to enter nine weeks grades for the grouped class. Instead, you will need to enter the nine weeks grades for the individual classes that make up the group. Many of you will need to unhide these classes to make them available.
