PE, Music and Art grades will be done by Romero, Bryant, and Wenzel. The homeroom teacher no longer has to make those changes. The conduct grades are all done by the homeroom teacher from PowerTeacher. These instructions will walk you through the two paths. • The first path gives you a list of the entire class and ALL 6 of the conduct grades. • The second path is by individual student. • You choose whichever path you like.
