Schoology and Infinite Campus Gradebook Integration

White Plains Schools

If you want to integrate the gradebook from Schoology into Infinite Campus

We recommend going slow and trying the process out – as its imperative that grades be accurate.

 Infinite Campus (IC)

a. IC is the permanent and official keeper of the student grades.

b. Grade Calc options must be setup in IC

c. Categories and weights must be setup in IC

d. Quarter grades and FinalAvg grades must be posted in IC only.

e. Assignments are to be created in Schoology (not IC). Assignments created in IC will not

move back over to Schoology.

f. Midterm Exams, Final Exams and Regents Exam scores must be entered into IC as they

are part of the FinalAvg calculation (Highlands, High School and Rochambeau only).

g. Attendance will still be in IC

h. IC gradebook setup instructions (same as previous years)

i. https://www.whiteplainspublicschools.org/site/Default.aspx?PageID=660

 Schoology

a. Assignments created in Schoology can be synced and moved over to the IC gradebook.

b. Assignments moved over to IC are classified as uncategorized and must be assigned the

correct Grading Task (always Quarter Grade) and the Category back in IC. If this step is

not done – Quarter grades will be inaccurate. This step will be known in IC as “aligning

to Gradebook”.

c. Ungraded assignments can be synced and moved over to the IC gradebook. This will

give you the option to get a head start and create future assignments in Schoology and

setup them up in IC correctly (aligning to gradebook).

d. Eastview only – Midterm exams and Final Exams can be created in Schoology as an

assignment (as those scores are only calculated into the Quarter grade) and must be

aligned to gradebook in IC.

e. Explain to students that Schoology will only have assignment grades and that Quarter

and FinalAvg grades will be officially calculated by Infinite Campus and appear in the

parent/student portal at this time.

Syncing grades from the Schoology Gradebook to IC

After you create assignments in Schoology (graded or ungraded). You can sync grades and access

the logs directly from the course gradebook in Schoology by selecting the sync and log icons along

the top:

Above: The one-click sync button to sync changes to all items to the Infinite Campus Grade Book.

Below: The clipboard icon to navigate to the sync logs in the Infinite Campus app from the

Schoology Gradebook. Systems logs will let you know if you had any errors with syncing

assignment grades.

Other things to note in Schoology

 When creating assignments in Schoology make sure the assigned and due dates are correct and

correspond to the correct Quarter you want to the assignment to belong to. Ask your school for the

Quarter date ranges.

 Currently, only assignment grades are supported as part of the gradebook sync. Grading scales,

weights, attendance will not be passed over to Infinite Campus.

 If an item is ungraded in Schoology, meaning it is not associated with a grading category, it will not

sync to Infinite Campus.

Click the sync icon to sync

Infinite Campus Steps

Uncategorized Assignments (aligning to gradebook)

Assignments received from Schoology arrive in IC without categories or grading

alignments. Teachers must select categories and grading alignments for scores and

grades to report correctly in IC. This is known as “aligning to gradebook”.

 After you have synced assignment grades from Schoology to IC (page 4)

 Go into your IC gradebook (select the course/section).

 Click the Uncategorized Assignments link (top right) in your grade book

(this is a new link in IC).

Uncategorized assignments need categories and grading alignments.

 The Grading task to be selected is Quarter Grade only.

 Categories are folders that assignments are sorted into, such as "Homework," "Tests," or

"Participation" etc.

 Creating categories and weights as part of the traditional gradebook setup in IC must be done first.

 Make sure when setting up your gradebook in IC that you see the grading tasks of Quarter

Grade, FinalAvg, Final Exams, Regents, etc that pertain to your course. Your school sets

this up for you.

Updating Uncategorized Assignments

(aligning to gradebook)

Select a Standard/Grading Task and Category for each assignment or

use the Fill Selected option:

 Select the Standard/Grading Task and Category to apply to assignments.

 Mark the checkbox to the right of each assignment to update.

 If you click Fill Selected. The Standard/Grading Task and/or Category is added to the

selected assignments. Any existing selections are overwritten.

Click Save All. Once assignments have category and scoring alignments, they are removed from

this list and the number in the orange counter goes down.

Once assignments are aligned, they are visible in the IC Grade Book with scores received from the

Schoology. Assignment scores are not to be edited in the IC Gradebook (they should be edited in

Schoology and then re-sync with IC). Quarter Grades, Exams and FinalAvg grades can still be

edited in IC.

Assignments are not flagged as Turned In by default.

Teachers can continue to use the assignment flags in IC (turned-in, missing, late, etc.).

Assignments are visible to parents and students as soon as they are received from the Schoology in

the parent/student portal. Assignment grades will also be visible to students in Schoology.

You can use the Fill

Selected option or

work on individual

assignments.

Assignments not

placed into a

Grading Task and

Category will

remain on this list

and will not go into

the IC Gradebook.
