Fresh Grade Tutorial Page for Parents
Here are the steps to setting up your child's Fresh Grade account. I have done this using my phone and screenshots. I also did it on the laptop and it looked very similar.
Student Account:
1. Open the email that the teacher sent you inviting you to set up your child's Fresh Grade account.
2. Go to student.freshgrade.com in your computer browser or download the green freshgrade app. for student accounts.
2. Go to student.freshgrade.com in your computer browser or download the green freshgrade app. for student accounts.
Download the app. for students onto your electronic device or open students.freshgrade.com in your computer browser.
Enter the access code that your teacher emailed to you to begin setting up your child's online account.
Once you've entered the Fresh Grade menu area (after you entered the code) then you will see a green menu bar on the left. Click or tap on the section indicating that you need to set up an account. Then enter your child's name, as seen here. No email is necessary as most children do not have email.
Once you've entered the child's name then this password setup page will show up. Choose a password that your child CAN REMEMBER and write it down in a secure place that your child can access please.
Enter a password that your child can remember, write it down. Create account. This is your child' login information for them to access their Fresh Grade portfolio. This is the place they upload information, videos, pictures and check for announcements from the teachers.
Your child can now access this landing page where the announcements and portfolio icons are. Because your child has not yet uploaded anything in the portfolio they will tap the icon but nothing will happen. Time to upload something. Good idea for your child to send a practice upload by saying hi to Mrs. Fillion and Mrs. Bast and upload a photo of themselves! :)
Have your child tap the portfolio icon and then tap upload. They can then enter a comment, sending a message to the teachers! They will prompted to also upload a picture or video if they wish. Hit upload and it will post to their portfolio.
Once the portfolio has been started then it will look like this at the top of the page. There will also be a big green "ADD NEW" button at the top of the portfolio page. Touch this to add any new comments, videos, pictures, or documents that you want the teachers to see.
