Jupiter Grades

You need to set up classes before adding students and assignments.

1. Click “Setup” tab and select “Classes/Subjects”
2. This tells you which grading period you are creating a class in. Keep this in mind, as you will also use it for assignments and grades.

This area is where you will be able to create, edit, and delete classes.

1. Click the “Setup” tab and select “Students”.
2. Enter your students into the blank white box, one per line. Students should already be in the database. You can put them in by name or student number. Click “Add”. If a student is found it will ask you to verify that student. If a student is not found it add that student to the database automatically.
3. PLEASE NOTE: Students can transfer classes easily and so do their grades!

The “Grades” tab is a way to look at all grades at once. While you can put grades in under the “Grades” tab, “Assign” focuses on one at a time and also allows you to add comments.

1. Click on the “Assign” tab.
2. Clicking on the “New Assignment” button allows you to scroll through all assignments you have already put in. If you want to add a new one, leave it as is. Note the check box to add assignments to all classes. Uncheck to add to just the selected class.
3. Input assignment title and due date. You may also change how it is input. If you want the grade to not impact the overall average, change the “Worth” to zero.
4. Quick scores allow for one click grading. Really useful if you just want something to be counted as turned in or not. There is an option for a check mark.
5. Automatically adds to class calendar if option is chosen. You can also add description of assignment and any electronic file needed.
