How do I publish to Grades Online?
  In order to provide students and/or parents with access to your class information on Grades Online, you will need to supply them with their Start Keys and accompanying passwords. Each student added to your Gradebook will have his/her own Start Key and password (as will their parents) generated automatically by Web Educator.
· You can find these Start Keys by logging into Web Educator then clicking on Web.
· To print handouts listing individual Start Keys and passwords for students, click on Print.
· To print or view Start Keys and passwords of parents, click on the Parents tab. To print a handout for a particular student or set of parents, click on the Print icon for that specific student (on the line containing the specific student's name, the print icon is at the end of the line located next to the circular arrow icon).
· The handouts will contain instructions on how students and parents can get started with Grades Online. If you need to change the Start Keys and passwords for all students or parents, click on Randomize. If you need to only change the Start Key for a particular student (or the parents of that student), click on the Randomize icon for that specific student (the Randomize icon is the one with the circular arrow). After changing any Start Keys, be sure to print a handout listing the new information for the appropriate students and/or parents if you wish to provide them with continued access to your class info.
