Classroom was created to combine a teacher's Gradebook (shown below), Lessons, Assessments, Web Pages, and Graphs tab all into one convenient program.

Prior to using Classroom, administrators will need to set up security for users. For classroom, users will need a Category of Grades and a Program of Classroom with RW (read/write) permission. Any security actions created for JGradebook will need to be applied to Classroom. Here are more instructions to update security.
This Grades tab was designed to give a user the ability to create assignments, post assignment grades and generate reports based on the posted grades. The user will also be able to take attendance, post discipline and much more.

Posting Grades

EDgear provides many ways to communicate with families and students.

Only a device is needed with access to a web browser to access the "Student Progress Center" as it is mobile aware.

To start using Mobile, on your smart device, browse to the URL provided by your district. It is usually the same as going to JCampus, but with the word "mobile" at the end of the URL rather than "Jcampus".

Teachers will need permissions as shown below to be able to use the Initiate Message feature. This will allow them to send messages to a whole class.

All of the features below are directly available within JCampus to simplify creation and delivery. It is also easier to monitor school and teacher communications with our built-in reports.

Classroom - allows teachers to provide assignments, worksheets, web links and more to students.
