Set Up PowerGrade

Use these instructions to set up PowerGrade at your workstation. All users must complete this procedure after completing the procedure "Install PowerGrade."

How to Set Up the Workstation

After you install PowerGrade and start the application for the first time, you need to configure it.

Note: During this process, if the PowerGrade Online Help folder cannot be found, you will be prompted to manually locate and select the folder.

  1. In the Step 1 PowerGrade Setup dialog, enter the PowerSchool server IP address for your school.

    Note: If you do not know the IP address of your server, contact your PowerSchool administrator. Without this information, PowerGrade cannot communicate with the PowerSchool server.

  2. Click Continue. The "Select a School" dialog appears if more than one school uses your server. If the dialog does not appear, skip to step 4.
  3. Click OK. The "Select a School Year " dialog appears if more than one school year exists on your server. If the dialog does not appear, skip to step 5.
  4. Click OK. The Step 2 PowerGrade Setup dialog appears.
  5. Click your name on the list.
  6. Click Continue. The Step 3 PowerGrade Setup dialog appears.
  7. Enter the PowerSchool connectivity key given to you by your PowerSchool administrator.

    Note: If you incorrectly enter the PowerSchool connectivity key, an alert message appears prompting you to quit.

    Note: This is not the same as the PowerGrade password. If you do not know your PowerGrade connectivity key, contact your PowerSchool administrator.

  8. Click Continue. A message indicates that PowerGrade is communicating with the PowerSchool server. The class rosters, schedules, and other information download from the server.
  9. Click OK when your classes become available.
