FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What do I do if I have already posted and I realize that I activated the wrong student? Contact the grade level attendance clerk immediately. What do I do if I have already posted and I realize that I did not activate a student who was present in my classroom? What do I do if the message “ERROR – NOT ACTIVATED” appears on the screen next to a student? Secondary Teacher Instructions

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Do ALL teachers have to activate students on the first day of school? Only those teachers who have course/sections and students assigned to them for the ADA period (i.e. the teacher is the teacher of record) activate students on the first day of school. For instance, teachers who see students on a pull-out basis, such as a content mastery teacher, do not activate students because no students are assigned to them via a course/section. Where do I find instructions for using the txGradebook?
