Using HAC to Check Grades

This is your last year before moving onto junior high so you will be challenged to be more independent, trustworthy, and responsible. Your teachers want to prepare you for the rigor and freedom of junior high. You will need to be more accountable for your own learning and that includes checking your grades daily. You should be looking at HAC at least once a day. You can get to HAC from OneLogin or sometimes there is a link in your teacher's Canvas course.

When checking your grades in HAC, the home page only shows your overall grade like an 85% or 93%. However, you should look more closely! You need to click on Classes to see grades for each assignment in each class. There are a few things you need to look out for:

I = Incomplete, which means it is missing and needs to be turned in immediately. Until then, it is a 0% and bringing your grade down.
EX = Excused, which means your teacher has excused you from the assignment and it does not affect your grade.
If there is a blank, that means it has not been graded yet. This is not a 0% and does not affect your grade.

Your next task needs you to use several features at once, so read the directions carefully! It involves checking HAC and learning to use an important tool on your ChromeBook. You are going to take a screenshot and learn how to upload it as an assignment.

A screenshot is a picture of your screen. Watch the video below to learn how to take a screenshot on your ChromeBook. There are many ways to take screenshots, but focus on the first way that they show you.

Now, go to HAC, then Classes, and then take a screenshot. It will save in your ChromeBook's folder. You will need to open your folders from the ChromeBook menu. You can find the picture in either Downloads or Recent.

You are going to take this screenshot and turn it in to your teacher through a Canvas assignments. There are a lot of different ways that a teacher may ask you to submit an assignment. It may be a quiz, file upload, Google assignment link, or Kami assignment.

Now it's time for you to submit your first assignment! Good luck!
