Skyward Gradebook, Secondary, Show All Classes

It's getting to be that next semester and you know you have classes you are suppose to teach, but you cannot find them in your gradebook anywhere, what's with that!?

Well, it's possible that you are only looking at your "Current Term" classes and not "All Classes". There are two places you may want to be able to view these courses.

Location #1:  Teacher Quick Access Widget


This teacher has a 2nd semester course that does not show up on her Quick Access widget.


Hover over the curved arrow icon, which causes your widget menu to appear

Click on the downward facing triangle icon (wedgie).

This opens your widget options (below)

 

Check the classes you wish to see. In this case, click on the class in term 3-4.

Click Save

When you return to your homescreen you will see your updated Teacher Quick Access Widget as does the teacher in this example.


Location #2: Teacher Access


From the home screen in Skyward, click Teacher Access at the top left.


Choose "My Gradebook"

The gradebook for this teacher shows only the current classes on his roster. Notice the terms are either 1-4 or 1-2, but there are no 3-4 courses.

Click on "Show All Classes"


Now, you will see that this teacher does, in fact, have another 2nd period class for the Q3 and Q4 terms.

Google Docs: Fonts for Early Elementary

Sample of search results from fonts.google.com A couple weeks ago, I was sitting in a training with a bunch of my favorite lower elementary teacher friends, and several of them were lamenting the fact that it is hard to find "good" Google fonts for the little people they work with on a daily basis.  Specifically, it is a challenge to find the single story lower case a and the open 4 .  This conversation, of course, sent me out on a mission to remedy this for these fantastic people.  So, the next day I put on my headphones, turned up the tunes on Spotify, and dived into the website fonts.google.com .  This website lists all the Google fonts available.  It also allows you to type in your own letters and numbers and see them in all the various fonts.  For my purpose, I typed in "abckgy 1234 This is the font."  From here I could see all 877 fonts, and look specifically for the a   and the 4.  It was quite an adventure, and I came across a lot of really awesome font

It's time to change your password!

There are several times a year when it is important to change your password.  Your password will expire every 90 days. When your windows computer informs you that your password will be expiring soon, CHANGE IT THEN! It is also always a good idea to change your password before going on break so that you do not get locked out of your computer, email or gradebook.  Here is how you change your password from the school windows computers. On your Windows desktop/TEC computer , press the Alt, Ctrl and Delete buttons at the same time. Click on "Change a Password" on the menu below: Enter your username, if needed, and follow the directions on screen. If you are off site or working solely on a Chromebook , you can use the VDI (Virtual Desktop) to change your password.   Simply go to vdi.portageps.org.  Click "VMware Horizon HTML Access."  Click "Accept."  Login with your portage username (leave off the @portageps.org) and password.  Click "Login."  Cli

Skyward Tech Tip: Unlocking a Closed Grade Period

Have you recently attempted to change a grade from last quarter only to be met with the statement “ This Grade Period is closed for Grade Entry “? This occurs because the date for the end of a marking period or quarter has past and that grading period has been locked in the Skyward Gradebook. Below you will find the process for changing term grades, assignment scores, and other information from past grading periods.
