*NEW* - If you cannot see the G icon, please verify with your district database Admin that the district has a paid Google Workspace for Education Plus License.
Students must have an email in SchoolTool that is part of the district's G Suite for Education domain.
Distance Learning students who may have a different school email in SchoolTool will not sync.
If a teacher received the following Error message after clicking the Roster Sync icon: “Error processing request: An item with the same key has already been added”
Not all students have GSuite email addresses, so need to enter the missing emails
Only Assignments and Quiz Assignments in Google Classroom can be imported to SchoolTool. NOT Questions or any other “Classwork” in Google Classroom.
Assignment Scores must be "Returned" in Google Classroom before they can be imported into SchoolTool.
Currently, there are two methods to copy an assignment from one Google Classroom to another: "Reuse assignment" and "Add Assignment to additional classrooms". For the purposes of importing assignments to SchoolTool, we recommend using the "Add assignment to additional classrooms" method.
If using the "Reuse assignment" method and the assignment has already been imported into one SchoolTool grade book, then it cannot be imported to any other SchoolTool grade books.
If SchoolTool Google Classroom features were functional before, but now all users receive an error (e.g. "configuration error" or similar) when trying to use roster sync or assignment import, it is recommended to review the G-Suite service account created during the implementation of the SchoolTool Google Classroom feature. The Service Account must be both active and designated as Super Admin for SchoolTool Google Classroom features to function correctly.
In the Grade Book, when I click the G icon, there is nothing to select (it is grayed out and blank). What do I do?
Either the SchoolTool Roster has not been linked to Google, in which case Sync the Roster, then import the grades
OR the SchoolTool Roster is linked to a Google Classroom that is archived. In this case, unlink the roster then sync to the correct Google Classroom. Classes cannot be synced to courses that are archived.

What You Need To Know
The deprecation of the legacy grading screens for ALL districts is scheduled for Tuesday, August 26th from 5-6pm. This change will occur without any downtime.
All grading screens will be updated to the new default setting, Mindex-Selected New, and the ability to toggle this back to a legacy option will no longer be available within the front end of SchoolTool. Under extenuating circumstances, i.e. a critical bug with no available workaround, Mindex can reactivate legacy at the request of a RIC/district via a support ticket. Please note that if users are utilizing the legacy grading screens at the time of this update, they will not be forcibly logged out. All data would be saved, however, once they navigate away from the legacy screen, they will no longer be able to get to the legacy screen (grade book). All data is still there, it will just be viewed in the new grade book interface.
