3. Click the Action button at the top right. Select Alternating Student Scheduling.
4. A popup will appear cautioning you about scheduling students once grades and assignments have been posted.
5. Click Yes.
6. A popup will appear in which you must verify the Year, District and School. Select the Grade and whether to clear and replace block schedules or add blocks to existing schedules.
7. Click the start auto schedule button.
8. A final confirmation question will appear. Respond Yes if you want to continue with the scheduling process. Respond No if you do not want to continue to schedule students.
9. If the system finds sections that are no longer in the Master Schedule a message listing the missing sections will appear on the screen. Corrections need to be done using the Edit/Change an existing block instructions found in the instructions above. These missing sections have not been included on student schedules. Click OK.
