Tip of the Week: Export Gradebook

It's that time of year again! Some of you will be wanting to print a "hard copy" of your gradebook and you may have forgotten where you can do this.

Just click on the Export tab in your gradebook for each class. With one click it will create an Excel file for you to save/print/share.

Tip of the Week: Check for Missing Parent Emails

Happy Monday! I have a way for you to quickly check which parents DO and which parents DO NOT have an email address listed in Skyward. I have added a template to gradebooks to make this super duper easy for you....

From inside one of your classes in the gradebook, hover over the Reports tab and select the Class Roster Report. Highlight the template called Parent/Guardian Email and click Print.

I wish I could make this print gridlines for you but it is not an option on this report. 😕

Once you have your report and see who is MISSING an email address -- YOU CAN ADD PARENT EMAILS right from the student profile page! Just follow the directions in the link below if you do not remember how to do this.

Tip of the Week: Online Assignment

There is so much that you can do with the Online Assignment feature in Skyward! You have the option of creating the assignments as True/False, Matching, Multiple Choice, Short Answer and Essay. You can also choose to have the assignments automatically scored in your gradebook as students complete their assignments under their own Skyward Account. Short Answer and Essay of course will need to be manually graded.

While setting up the assignment is fairly easy -- there is still a lot of info regarding available features. At the end of this post I have included a link to a document provided by Skyward that will walk you through everything you need to know about creating an Online Assignment. If you get stuck or have questions I am just a phone call away! 📱 X8668 📱
