Step 5. Adding Students
When you or your teachers create classes, always use the same ID number for a given student in all classes for all teachers. Using the same ID number allows Engrade to assign that student a single access code yourschool-studentid-xxxx, where the xxxx part is a four-digit security code automatically generated by Engrade. Make sure to NEVER RE-USE ID NUMBERS FOR DIFFERENT STUDENTS or students will be able to see each others' grades.
