Getting Started

Installation

  1. Open the Google Workspace Marketplace
  2. Click Install and follow the prompts
  3. Grant the required permissions when asked

Grade Reports requires permissions for Google Classroom, Google Drive, Google Docs, and Gmail. These are used only to read your class data and send reports.

First Run

  1. Open any Google Doc (Grade Reports runs as a Google Docs Add-on)
  2. Go to Extensions → Grade Reports → Generate Reports
  3. On first launch, Grade Reports will set up a configuration folder in your Google Drive called Grade Reports containing a config spreadsheet

Setting Up Student Information

Before generating reports, you need to enter student details (names, email addresses, and guardian emails):

  1. After selecting a course, click Enter Student Information
  2. Fill in student names, student emails, and guardian emails
  3. Save — this information is stored in your config spreadsheet

Alternatively, click Open Config Spreadsheet to edit the spreadsheet directly.

Guardian emails are required if you want to send reports to parents/guardians. Students can receive reports using their Google Classroom email.

Generating Your First Report

  1. Select a course from the Google Classroom Course dropdown
  2. Wait for students to load
  3. Select the students you want to include (or click Select All)
  4. Configure your report options
  5. Click Create Report to generate reports as Google Docs, or Email Reports to generate and send them immediately

Reports are saved to a Grade Reports folder in your Google Drive, organized by course.
