Click the OK to advance to the next page.
Column Headers
To find definitions of commonly used column headers, follow this link: Common Column Headers.
1. At the bottom of the WebGradebook, verify the school year and teacher. Choose the course then marking
period
2. After creating an assignment, click in the cell under the name of the assignment and to the right of the
students name
3. Enter the appropriate grade
If the Grade Post Type is Numerical Grade, the valid grades to be posted are all numerical values (1, 2, 3,
4…) not exceeding the maximum value of the assignment plus the value of the bonus points.
If the Grade Post Type is Letter Grade, the valid grades to be posted are A, B, C, D, and F.
If the Grade Post Type is SNU Letter Grade, the valid grades to be posted are S, N, or U.
If the Grade Post Type is SNU Numeric Grade, the valid grades to be posted are all numerical values (1,
2, 3, 4…) not exceeding the maximum value of the assignment plus the value of the bonus points.
Additional valid grades/symbols that can be posted are:
1. E is used to mark an assignment grade as an exempt grade for a student and it is not counted as
an zero (0) in the final calculation.
2. A blank assignment grade is not counted as an zero (0) in the final calculation.
5
3. I is used to mark an assignment as incomplete. The final marking period grade will remain as an
“I” grade as long as any assignment has an “I” grade posted. "I" grades do generate phone calls
when marked in the webgradebook. See more information below.
4. P is used in any assignment to signal the final marking period average as a passing grade. Note:
Per the state definition, if a student receives a letter grade of “P”, it is excluded from the GPA
calculation. Zero quality points are awarded, however, the carnegie credit earned for the course
is counted toward the credit required for meeting a core category. This differs from an "F"
because an “F” will also receive zero quality points and zero credit will be earned, however, the
course will be counted in the number of courses taken.
5. R is used in any assignment to signal the final marking period average as a readiness grade and
it is not counted as an zero (0) in the final calculation.
6. W is used in any assignment to signal the final marking period average as a withdrawal grade
and it is not counted as an zero (0) in the final calculation.
7. X is used to mark an assignment grade where the student failed to make up an assignment. It is
treated as a zero (0) in the final calculation but can also be used in conjunction with a numerical
grade such as "98X". NOTE: It is used often in the place of the "I" to put the burden of getting
the grade in on the student and not the teacher. At some point, the "I" must be cleared but not
the "X". Also "X" grades do not generate phone calls when marked in the webgradebook.
8. If you are needing to post symbols, click here: Using Symbols
4. Deleting a grade
Click in the cell of the grade that you want to change.
The cell will highlight, tap the backspace or delete key then tap the enter key.

If a grade of "F" of "I" is posted for an assignment grade, a grade message may be sent home and displayed
in the Student Progress Center. To prevent the grade message to be sent due to an accidental posting, when
a grade of "F" or "I" is posted, the following warning message will be displayed:

The teacher can then go back and correct the grades prior to the grade message being sent.
NOTE: The district determines the frequency and times that theese messages are sent.
