allowing accessibility from work or home. This chapter will provide instruction on the many
features within the Teacher Interface.

The My Students tab allows access to the teacher’s student list, while the Toolkit tab displays
selectable Gradebook preferences. Teachers can access Class Attendance Rosters by clicking
the Roster icon . Click the Print icon to print a copy of the selected schedule view. The red
Exclamation Point icon indicates attendance has not yet been taken for that class. The CoTeacher icon , which appears on all three schedule view tabs, indicates the teacher has been
assigned to co-teach the class.
