Can a campus request additional training? |
If a campus would like additional training beyond the GradeSpeed Administrator training, they will have to work with the vendor directly.
When generating the requisition:
- Use vendor SHI-Gov
- The hourly rate is $106 per hour with a 3 hour minimum
- Since SHI-Gov is on state contract, there is no need for Board approval
- Contact Jennifer Carr at 214-876-2466 or Campusware at 1-800-722-1619 with the PO number to schedule the training date and time
- The location of the training is the campus’ responsibility. It is helpful to have one computer per attendee
|

- The Phase IV start date will be the start of the 6th six weeks (April 17th).
- The Phase V start date will be the start of the 6th six weeks (April 17th).

Is the use of GradeSpeed.NET mandatory? |

Can we give parents and/or students access to the student’s gradebook? |
GradeSpeed has a parental access module, but DISD is not currently offering this feature at this time.
|
I am a teacher. How do I log-in? |
Enter your user name and hit "Sign In." Your e-mail address is your user name. The first time you log in you should not enter a password. It will prompt you to enter a new password and confirm it.
|
I am a teacher. I forgot my password. |
Contact your GradeSpeed Campus Administrator to clear your password.
|
When I try to login I get a pop-up blocker. |
This is not a GradeSpeed issue. Pop-up blocker issues must be resolved on your computer.
If you have installed ANY internet toolbars they may have a pop-up blocker as well. Be sure to go into any and all tool bars to disable the blocker.

|
Can we create teacher groups (such as English Teachers)? |
No. GradeSpeed does not have this capability.
|
The multiplier in Assignments doesn’t work. |
This feature has been turned off by administration.
|
A teacher wants to group her courses by period rather than by course ID.
I set Group by Period for
a teacher
in Teacher Properties via Database Manager,
but it is not taking affect.
|
"Group By Period" only takes affect if it is checked before a teacher has
signed in for the cycle. Once a teacher has signed in and it is checked,
it will not do anything until the next cycle.
|
When students are withdrawn or dropped, can grades still be entered for them? |
Yes. They just stay in the gradebook. They do not get exported to Stusys.
|
If a student transfers to another section can the assignment with grades be moved to the new section? |
Yes. Refer to the Transfer Students topic in the GradeSpeed Teacher's Manual.
|
Can an assignment be copied to another section after it has been
created? |
No, it needs to be added when you are creating it.
|
Can the gradebook be printed? |
No. However, you can print a Grade List instead.
