View classes

The class details page on the Academics tab lists classes for the current or previous school year, as well as a summary of attendance and performance for each class.

If you want to view classes for the previous year or grade term, click the Current Year drop-down and select Previous Year, or click the Current Term drop-down and select the appropriate term. The classes for the year/term you selected appear.

Notes: If Current Year/Current Term is selected for the year/grade term drop-downs, then all classes that are current appear. If Previous Year/Current Term is selected for the year/grade term drop-downs, then the filter reverts to Previous Year/All Terms. When you click the Academics tab, a list of your classes appears. If zero (0) values appear in the attendance columns, it might mean that your school does not take period attendance for the class. If so, the message "Attendance is not collected for this course" appears when you hover your cursor over the 0.

To view details about attendance and performance in a class:

1. Click the Academics tab.
2. Select the checkbox next to a course section, and then click the Details side-tab.

   For each class you can see the following:

   • Course number and description (such as 100.1 Chemistry)
   • Term the student takes the class (such as Semester 1)
   • Schedule (which days and periods the class is held)
   • Teacher
   • Room
   • Grade scale grades associated with the course (appears depending on your district's settings)
   • Teacher Notes section: Appears if the teacher has provided any comments about the class
   • Attendance Summary: Displays absences, tardies, and dismissals for each term, and a current total for the year
   • Average Summary: Lists assignment categories (such as Homework, Tests, Quizzes) with their weight toward your overall grade, a grade for each term the current average, and last posted grade

   Note: N/A in the Weight row means the teacher does not use weights to calculate averages for this class.

   • Semester running total and overall cumulative average for the selected class (bottom of the page). Note that if your school or district has included a description of how these averages are calculated, appears. Hover your cursor over the icon to view the description.
   • Final grade

   Notes: If the Indicates adjust value icon appears, it means that your teacher has adjusted this grade, and it does not match the calculated grade that is posted in their Gradebook. Some of the features listed might not be available to you, based on your district's and school's use of Aspen.
