The first time you open IGPro for the school year, you will need to create a gradebook. Because this is the server addition of IGPro, your TIS will have your user name and password to initially sign into the program. Please obtain this information before proceeding. The following setup is how you would access the gradebook from the school location.

Open IGPro and click to select Create a new gradebook.
Click OK

Click Next to proceed. You do not want to create a gradebook locally, as the gradebook must be saved on the IGPro server to communicate with SASI and Lex<>Connect.

When IGPro opens, the following window will appear. Notice that on the blue title bar the window tell you that you are going to create a New Gradebook, but that you are Not Connected to the IGPro Server.

To connect to the IGPro Server you must doubleclick on the IGPro server icon that is listed under Servers as shown below.

For a brief moment, you will see a screen that indicates you are establishing connection with the IGPro server.

Once communication is established with the IGPro server the following window will appear.

Here you must enter the username and password that your TIS has provided. This password can be changed but has been generated by the system and must be used on the initial login.

Click Login once you have enter the User ID and Password correctly.

The following window will appear. You will notice that the blue title bar now shows that your are still in process of creating the new gradebook and that you are connected to the server. Your name should appear in the User field.

At the bottom of the active window, notice that the File Name is empty.

You will NOT be prompted with any message, but this is where you will enter the name of your gradebook as you would like to see it in your teacher folder for the upcoming school year.

Suggested naming format: Use an identifier for yourself, either first initial with last name or last name and the school year.

Once you have named the gradebook, click Save.

Verify the information on the New Gradebook window. If the information is not correct, notify your TIS and do not proceed in creating the gradebook. If all is correct, click Next.

This screen allows you to edit the way your name will appear on reports. Our state department requires us to put the teacher name as it appears on the teaching certificate. However, if you prefer a different name to appear for parents to see on IGPro reports, you may change it here.

Click Save. This will automatically put your gradebook into the correct teacher folder on the IGPro Server. You will not have to look for the folder to save the gradebook file.

The gradebook will open to reveal classes the teacher is scheduled to teach in SASI.

The TIS will teach you how to add tasks and work with the gradebook from this point.

· When you are finished adding grades, tasks, etc… remember to Save the gradebook as you close out of IGPro.

Logging into IGPro After Creation of the Gradebook

· Select Open a gradebook on a server to open a gradebook that has already been created.

· Notice on the blue title bar, you have selected to open a gradebook, but you are not connected to the IGPro server. Under Servers, double click to begin opening your connection to the server.

· Enter your User ID and password and click Login.

· Select the gradebook that you created previously and click Open.

· A download process will take place from the IGPro server to your desktop. When the process is complete the window will display a message at the bottom stating to click OK to continue.

· IGPro is set to automatically look at the teacher class file and make updates if new students are scheduled for classes or if they are dropped from the classes. The message below indicates that process is complete. Click OK to continue.

· The gradebook will open for you to add tasks, grades, etc.

· Remember to Save the gradebook as you close the program.

Changing Your Password

· You must obtain your password from the TIS at your school to sign in the first time.

· To change your password after the first sign in click on Setup on the gray menu bar and then select Password…

You must first enter the current password you were given by your TIS.

You must select a password that is at least 6 characters long.
Please write down the password and leave it in a safe place.
Enter the desired password and click Next.
Remember that all grades are confidential and IGPro should never be left open at your desk, at home, or in any other location you open your gradebook. Likewise, do not leave your password written down in a place that can be seen by others.

You must re-enter your new password for verification.

The following screen let’s you know that the new password is now in effect.
