Setting Up Teacher Accounts and Passwords
Administrators and/or other office personnel will need to set up teacher accounts and
passwords. This is the same process as for Online Attendance. Please refer to the Online
Attendance section "Setting Up Teacher Accounts and Passwords" for details on how
to set teacher user names and passwords.
Processing Teacher Progress Report Submissions
Periodically teachers may submit student progress reports to the office. Office staff may
print these reports in various ways, such as for a grade level or individual student, by
using Grades-Reports-Print Progress Reports .
Processing Teacher Grade Submissions
At the end of each term teachers post student grades much like they do with the
traditional JMC GradeBook. Office staff use the Grades-Entry-TGE/GradeBook Entry
option to process these grades. From the TGE/GradeBook Entry screen use the Teacher
to Office via Drop Folder option and navigate to the JMC data folder. Inside the data
folder is a folder named "GRBK_Grades". This folder contains any grades posted by
teachers through the Online GradeBook. Process these grade files just as you would
process grade files from a network Grades Drop folder.
Making Backups of Teacher GradeBooks
Since all teacher GradeBook information is stored on the web server it is very
important to make proper backups of the Online GradeBook files!
Each teacher's GradeBook data is stored in a Teacher folder in the same directory as the
JMC Online software (CGI or DLL). Each Teacher folder is named "TeacherXX", where
XX is the JMC teacher number. To make a backup, please copy ALL the folders
beginning with the word "Teacher".
