records for that student, including attendance, grades, schedule, demographics, special

Entering Attendance
1. Attendance must be reported during every class period. It is very important to enter attendance
for a class period while the period is happening and the students are in your classroom.
2. After following the steps above, click on “Attendance” in the WebGradebook Tool Bar.
3. A new window will open up, showing your students in a new list.
4. Attendance for your FIRST PERIOD/HOMEROOM CLASS ONLY:
a. If a student is present in your class when the bell rings, you do not have to do anything.
The default position is “present”.
b. If a student is absent, you must click in the BLUE column labeled “1st”.
c. Choose the absence code “05 U Dr/Parent Note Needed”. The student will then be
marked absent for the day.

The default position is “present”.
b. If a student is not present in your class when the bell rings, click in the second column
labeled “OUT”. A menu of options will pop up, from which you can choose the reason
the student is out (“Skipped”, “Dr/Parent Note Needed”, “Tardy”, etc.).
6. Once you are done entering attendance for that class period, click on the large red button at the
top of the screen, “Sign Off Roll Call”.

assignment.

7. The Maximum Points box defaults to 100. Change this if the assignment you gave is worth less
than 100 points. (Please note: maximum points is not a designation of an assignment’s weight.

9. Enter a description in the large space provided only if you see fit, for your own notes.
10. If you teach multiple sections of the same class (for example: you teach English III at 1 st, 3rd, and
5th periods) and you give the same tests or assignments in all those sections, you can copy the

Other Sections”. A list of your other sections will appear. Choose the ones you want to copy the
assignment to, and click “ok”.

14. The last column in your WebGradebook will always be the students’ current final grades,
calculated automatically based on the assignments you’ve previously assigned, the weighted
category of each, and the grades you’ve previously entered for them.
