If the Aeries administrator has properly configured Google Classroom integration with Aeries, then the Import from Google button will display on the Scores by Assignment page. Click this button to import scores from your Google Classroom into this Aeries Gradebook assignment. 

Importing Assignments into Linked Gradebooks is not supported.  Only one Aeries Gradebook can be linked to a Single Google Classroom, if more than one Aeries Gradebook is linked, unexpected results may occur.

• For Staff-Section schools, the associated Staff ID must have Full permissions to at least one Gradebook to enable the 'Import from Google' button (SSE.GBP = '' or 'F").
• If the assignment in Aeries is using the Input By Standard option to enter a separate score for each standard, then the Import from Google button will be disabled because there is no way to link the single score in Google Classroom to the separate scores by standard in Aeries. The assignment can still have one or more standards linked to it, as long as Input By Standard is not checked.

A list of all your Google Classrooms will display. Click on the Classroom that contains the assignment whose scores who wish to import into Aeries.

After the Google Classroom is selected, a list of all assignments in that Classroom will display. Click the assignment that you wish to link to this Aeries Gradebook assignment.

The following confirmation message will display.

If the maximum points value on the Google assignment is not the same as the total points possible value in Aeries, the following warning will display instead. Click Confirm to import the scores anyway, bearing in mind that the percentages in Aeries will be impacted by this discrepancy.

Once you click Confirm, the scores from Google will be imported into Aeries for students who have a valid Google account known to Aeries. Only “returned” scores from Google Classroom will be imported. Depending on the size of the class, it can take up to 30 seconds to import scores from Google Classroom.

When the import is completed, a summary will display the number of students whose scores were imported, as well as each student in the Aeries Gradebook for whom no score was imported. Click OK to return to the Scores by Assignment page, which will be refreshed with the newly imported scores.

Once a Google assignment has been linked to an Aeries assignment, that link will be remembered. If you click the Import from Google button again on the same assignment, the following message will display.

Auto Import Google Classroom Assignments ↑

All Google Classroom assignments can be imported into your Gradebook(s) without having to first create assignments in your Gradebook(s). This can be done two ways:

    1.  Using an Import button on your Gradebooks Dashboard

    2. A nightly synchronize routine that will automatically import your Assignments.

If you have at least one Gradebook tied to a Google Classroom, an Import Assignments From Google button will display on your Gradebook Dashboard

Clicking this Button will take you to the Import Assignments From Google page. The page will display all Gradebooks tied to a Google Classroom. It will show the Gradebook name, the number of assignments currently in each Gradebook, the number of Assignments in the Google Classroom for that Gradebook and a link to the Google Classroom.

To Import Assignments from Google, select the Gradebooks you want to use, check whether you would like to Import Scores and click Import.

Note: This Import process is affected by the Import Assignments Already Marked as Grading Completed and Days Past Due Date To Include settings on the Google Classroom tab of the Google App Integration page. If you have marked 'Grading Complete' for an assignment, scores may still import if the setting is checked on Google Classroom page. If not, and you wish to override a 'Grading Complete' on an assignment, use the Import from Google option directly into the Assignment as outlined above. 

This will import the Assignments into your Gradebook using the Default Category that is set up. If no Categories have been set up, a Default 'Assignments' Category will be created and the Google imports will be assigned to that one.  After the 1st import you may assign a Category to the Assignment.

Once the Import process has started the text banner at the top will show the Assignment currently being imported

When the process finishes, the last Import date and time will display at the top.

Clicking on the Date/Time will show the results of the Import. It will display whether the Assignment already exists in the Gradebook, which Assignments were imported, any Scores that were imported, including which Students did not have Scores and any Scores which were updated.

At any time you may click the Stop Importing button to stop the process.  Clicking Return to Dashboard will take you back to the Gradebook Dashboard but the import process will continue to run.

The Assignments will appear in your Gradebook according to the Due date of the Assignment set in Google Classroom using the Default Category. Only the Assignment and the Scores will import. Any Documents or Media you had attached to the Assignment in Google Classroom will not import, neither will any Rubric scoring.  If no Due date was assigned in Google Classroom, then the Assignment will be imported with today's date.

If your Administrator has configured a nightly synchronization routine with Google, your Assignments and Scores can be imported on a regular basis.

Any Assignment marked 'Grading Complete' will not update during this process.
