Set up terms, the grading scale, and grade levels

School setup holds three settings every other HomeroomGo page uses: your terms, your grading scale, and your grade levels. Do this first, before teachers create classes. Only an owner or admin can open it.

Steps

1. In the rail, open Classes. Under Setup, click School setup.
2. Under Add a term, type a Name like Fall 2026. Pick the First day and Last day, then click Add term. Add every term in your year.
3. Under Grading scale, fill one row per letter: the letter, the cutoff percent, and the GPA points. The lowest band must start at 0. Click Save scale.
4. Under Grade levels, type your grades from lowest to highest with commas, like K, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Click Save grade levels.

Good to know

• The standard scale is A at 90, B at 80, C at 70, D at 60, and F at 0, on 4.0 points. Click Use the standard scale to go back to it.
• A band worth 0 points does not pass and earns no credit.
• The current term is the one whose dates include today. New classes, report cards, and exports pick it for you. If a quarter sits inside a semester, the one that started last wins.
• A term can be up to a year long, and each term needs its own name.
• Deleting a term does not change classes or report cards you already issued.
• If you leave grade levels blank, year end promotion uses the grades it finds on your roster.
