Accessing the Gradebook

For the 2026–2027 school year, use the Gradebook to monitor student progress on an assignment. You can see which students have started working  and review any highlights and annotations they have made in the text.

Note: Students do not need to submit an assignment for you to view their work. You can access their progress and responses at any time through the Gradebook.

To Open the Gradebook

  1. Log in to your teacher account.
  2. Open the class you want to work with.
  3. Click Assignments.
  4. Locate the assignment you want to review.
  5. Click Gradebook.

Force Submitting Assignments

For the 2026–2027 school year, students do not need to submit an assignment for you to review their work. You can open and review student responses at any time, making assignments ideal for activities such as reading book chapters, completing questions, or other ongoing work.

You may want to force submit an assignment only if you would like to leave comments or feedback that the student can view.

Important: Once an assignment is submitted (either by the student or by the teacher), the student will no longer be able to access or continue working on that assignment.

Option A:

To Force Submit an Individual Student's Assignment

  1. Locate the student whose assignment has not yet been submitted. Their row will display a Submit button.
  2. Click Submit in that student's row.
  3. The assignment will be submitted on the student's behalf, allowing you to add comments and feedback that the student can view.

Option B: 

To Force Submit Multiple Students' Assignments

Use bulk submission when you want to submit assignments for multiple students at once so you can provide comments or feedback they can view.

Important: Once an assignment is submitted, students will no longer be able to access or continue working on that assignment.

  1. Select one or more students by checking the box next to their names.
  2. To select all students, check the box next to Assignment at the top of the list.
  3. Click Edit on the right side of the screen (below Export).
  4. In the Edit Assignment window, select Submit/Unsubmit Assignment(s).
  5. Click Save to apply your changes.

Unsubmitting Assignments

  1. Follow steps 1-3 from the Bulk Submission instructions above.
  2. In the Edit Assignment window, click Submit/Unsubmit Assignment(s).
  3. This action will unsubmit previously submitted assignments for the selected students.
  4. Click Save to confirm your action.

 

Deleting Assignments

  1. Select the student(s) whose assignment(s) you want to delete using the checkboxes.
  2. Click the Edit button on the right side of the screen.
  3. In the Edit Assignment window, click Delete Assignment(s).
  4. Click Save to confirm the deletion.
