Accessing PowerGrade for the first time

Each teacher will have to complete 5 steps before accessing their grades via PowerGrade. You will only have to complete this process one time.

If you have any questions or experience any problems with this process please email Rod Milstead at rod@rodmilstead.com or call during school hours-458-3482.

IF you are accessing PowerGrade before 8-17-05 you will see the following message:

You may click OK to continue the PowerGrade setup. Be aware that you MAY have to update your datafile to see recently added classes and/or students.

After 8-17-05 this is the first entry that will greet you:

Yes, you DO want to setup a new datafile. So, follow along.
