How to Setup Alpha Grades

Under the Teacher Menu, click on Maintain Teacher Gradebook Category. This is where you will setup appropriate Course/Sections categories with Alpha Calculating Result Types and Value Scales.

There are several areas in Teams that need to be set up in order to view and post Alpha grades in your Teams Gradebook. Under the Gradebook Course/Section tab, select a course/section.

Categories weights are assigned for the YEAR. Once a weight has been set, it cannot be changed.

⭐ If you have questions regarding the District Grading Policies, please refer to the GC Grading Hub or contact your Academic Dean / Principal ⭐

❗ Alpha grade setups will be defaulted to the courses prior to the first day of school. If a new course is added that requires Alpha grades after the first day of school, follow the next step. ❗

If the Categories are set up correctly, when adding Assignments, the Alpha Grades Only column should be set to ‘Y’ by default. If the categories were not setup correctly, this field will need to be manually updated.

To enter an assignment grade, click in the field for the assignment grade to insert your cursor and highlight the student row yellow.

Enter the grade for the assignment.

As you enter grades, the Class Average information for the assignment is updated.

Click anywhere outside the selected field. A message is displayed on the tab reminding you that you have unsaved changes, and the student’s average is updated.
