How-to

1. Log in to your district’s WebPams page
2. On the left, click on "Grades"
3. Under the heading "Loaders", click on "Grading Period Lock"
4. Check the setup box
   • Select the desired "Year"
   • "District" and "School" should be defaulted based on security. 700 users can select all schools at one time
5. Click "OK"
6. Upon clicking "OK" the school(s) selected will appear on the screen. A check box for each marking period will be to the right of the school name. Placing a check in the box for a marking period will lock that marking period so that the editing of grades and assignments is not possible. For 700 users, placing a check in the check box to the left of the column header, P1, P2, etc., will lock all schools at one time
7. The last check box in the row is "DENY". If this box is checked, all users are denied access to view the classes that teachers are scheduled to teach
8. The last column in the row is "Section". This column shows the number of sections in the master schedule for the school.
9. Clicking on the number of sections will list each teacher with the classes they are scheduled to teach. To the right are the check boxes for each marking period and Deny. If a teacher/s needs to make changes to grades after the marking period has been locked, then one or more sections for the teacher/s may be unchecked. Unchecking the section for the one teacher will unlock that section for only that teacher. The rest of the school will remain locked for the selected marking period.

Notes:

• When the teacher's section has been unchecked, the check on the main page will also uncheck signifying that one teacher is unlocked and the school is not completely locked. But this does not mean that all the teachers are unlocked, only that one teacher.
• Also, if a teacher is in the gradebook, creating an assignment and adding grades, but an administrator locks the gradebook during that time, the teacher will be able to complete that assignment.
