This lesson will guide you through the process of Creating GradeBooks with Custom Rosters. This feature allows users to find and add students to a GradeBook outside an already created student group or section. The tool grabs the students selected, automatically creates a student group and links it to the GradeBook. This feature removes the requirement of creating and managing student groups outside of the GradeBook.
Currently, students must be linked to gradebook via section in order for the grades to reflect in the Portal. The teacher can share the Gradebook with Portal and the Gradebook title will display in Portal, but no grades will display in Portal until the student-rostered section has been linked via Setup > Details.
Where to Start
- Click on the Gradebook tab.
- Select My GradeBooks.
Creating Your Gradebook
Once you've selected a Points-Based or Standards Based GradeBook:

You can delete a single student using the trash can icon to the right of the dates.
- Save and go directly into the GradeBook.
