11. Can I access my grades/work on my grades from home?
A. eClass Grades is a computer based gradebook, but not a web based one. Thus, you cannot log into your gradebook from home. You can, however, carry a copy of your latest gradebooks home with you, work on them there, and then copy over the changes you made back to the school server. There is a minimal amount of setup needed for this to happen. Contact Davida Alexander-Green to set this up for you. You will need a USB (pen) drive; additionally, you will need to know the drive letter the USB drive occupies on your home computer. Most will show up as E:, but rarely, it will be different.
