For complete documentation regarding the gradebook, please read:

• Elementary Gradebook Manual
• Secondary Gradebook Manual

State law requires that you take attendance.  Elementary teachers must take attendance in 2nd period (Homeroom).  Secondary teachers must take attendance in each class period throughout the day.

Please view our support pages on either the Elementary Pinnacle Support or Secondary Pinnacle Support. 

Are you missing classes or has a class disappeared? Click on the + to the right of your class tabs. Check the classes you want to be restored and then click Add to Tabs.

Have too many class tabs? Class tabs must be combined BEFORE you begin entering grades.
Once grades are entered, merging gets tricky and you will need to reenter some grades.

If you suddenly receive a new class and NO grades for any nine weeks have been entered into that class, merging can occur without any lose of grades.

Send an email to gradebook@pisd.edu requesting your classes be combined.

Long-Term Substitutes can have access to a teacher's gradebook in order to take attendance and input grades.

   1. The substitute's name
   2. The teacher that will be out
   3. Start Date
