3. Click on the class you would like to enter grades for.
4. Click on any student’s name to bring up his/her report card. 2
5. Each field on the report card will be color-coded, and each color corresponds to how the data in each field was obtained:
Green = Imported from Engrade* Pink = Manually input by teacher (you) Yellow = No data White = Locked field Blue = Recently updated by another teacher
*Green fields may only appear for the student information at the beginning of your report cards.

7. Click “Save” once data is entered for a student. To navigate to the report cards of other students in your class, you can click “Previous Student” or “Next Student.” Additionally, in Google Chrome or Safari browsers, you can 3
