    • Send an email to an individual student. You can also send their login information.
    • Send an email to the entire class. You can also send each student their own individual login information.
    • View/edit a student's grades

  3. If you want to send an individual email to a student: Click the envelope icon next to the student's name and an email window will appear. Enter a subject and message - and if needed, check off the "Include login ID, password and URL with message" box to automatically include the student's login information with the message.

    Alternately, you can choose a student to send an email to by checking the box next to their name and clicking the Send Email button.

  4. To send an email to the entire class: Click the checkbox next to ID in the upper left-hand corner of the page to select all students in the class, then click the Send Email button. Enter a subject and message - and if needed, check off the "Include login ID, password and URL with message" box to automatically include the student's login information with the message. Each student will only receive his or her ID and password with the email you send to the class.

  5. If you want to view a student's grades - click the icon that looks like a piece of paper with a checkmark. You will be taken to the student's grade page.

You can also print off a list of student IDs and passwords if necessary. To do this:

  1. Click the Reports link that appears on the right-hand side of the page under the title of your class.

    • PDF Format: This will generate the report in Adobe PDF format - you can print the report from Adobe Acrobat.
    • HTML Format: This will generate a new web page for the report - you can print this directly from your browser.
