Why do I keep getting "Warning Page Expired..." messages?
Do not use your browsers "Back" and "Forward" buttons while logged in at MyGradeBook.
Using your browsers "Back" and "Forward" buttons can cause some "Page Expired" messages. If you

your browsers "Refresh" button.
How do I let students and parents login to see their grading summary?

Student Names & Passwords
screen in the Students tab to assign passwords to your students.
-
Let your students and parents know the Classword and their student password.
If you have email addresses for one or students and parents and they have been entered into the Contact Information screen
in the Students tab, you can use the Grades Updated screen in the toolkit tab to send emails to each student
and parent that contain a personalized hyperlink that they can click on
to go directly to their grading summary without remembering their classword and password.
How do I change my Email address?
Use the My Account Screen to
change your Email addresses. A link to the My Account screen is shown near the top of every screen.

Can anyone other than me see the

grading summary.

address after my account is created?
Yes, you can change your Email
address in the My Account Screen.

My school does not use the default grade scale and/or plus and
minus grades. Can I still use MyGradeBook?
Yes. You can modify the default Grading Scale in the
Class Screen. Every new class you add
starts with the default grading scale defined in the My Account screen.
Therefore, you should modify the grading scale in the My Account screen
so each new class starts with the grading scale you normally use.
