Getting Started with IGPro
Setting up IGPro for the year- cheat sheet
Log in (1st initial, followed by full last name- password is 1234-1234-1234).
1-Click “Setup” on toolbar
2-Click “Spreadsheets”
3-Click “New,” then “Next”

6-Click “Edit Date Range”
Put in beginning and ending dates for the quarter (see below)
7-Repeat for the rest of the quarters

If you use a weighted type system you must do the following:
1-Click “Setup” on toolbar
2-Click “Grading Rules”
3-Click the tab which says “Type Sets”
4-Change the percentages that each type of thing is worth according to your own system.
-You can change the names of the tasks “i.e. Exams, Homework, etc” by clicking on “Rename Type”
-If you don’t want to use one type (i.e. Labs) then just leave it blank.
Adding Tasks (for your grades):
1-Select the class you want to enter the task for
2-Click “Tasks” and “New Task”
3-Give it a name and a date
4-If you use a ‘weighted type’ system, you must select the type of task it is from the scroll down bar (i.e. Homework, Quiz, Test, etc.)
5-Pick the total number of points the task is worth
6-Click “Create”
You should now have a new column into which you can put the grades for that task
NOTA BENE- if you do not want the scores uploaded to Edline for the students and parents to see, you must click “Tasks,” “Edit Task” and then unclick the box which reads “Allow export to InteGrade Pro link.” You must do this for every task.

Now you should be done- For Quarter 1 please send Carol Logan an email to let her know that you are exporting your grades from IGPro. By Quarter 2 we are all expected to be using it.
