Using Pinnacle for grades is required by Streetsboro City Schools. Pinnacle is also used for attendance.

At the high school, attendance should be taken at the beginning of each period and sent to the Attendance Office via Pinnacle. Be sure to take and enter attendance right away at the beginning of the class.

At both the middle and intermediate school, Pinnacle is used for Homeroom attendance. You may use it throughout the day but the attendance officer is only interested in your homeroom attendance.

Login to Pinnacle. In My Computer, you should be linked to the "P" or Pinnacle drive.  Select the green grade book icon.  It does not matter what number follows the icon. 

Open the class needed by selecting File> Open> class.

Note: Anytime you think your roster is not accurate, go to the Pinnacle tab on the toolbar and scroll down to Update Roster. Choose Update Roster.

Select the button Quick Attendance - QA. The window that appears will list all of your students.

Highlight a student's name. Then click Tardy or Absent, whichever is appropriate. If a student is present you do not need to do anything.

When you have finished with a class, select OK. This sends the attendance to the Attendance Office.

You can now logout (File> Close) of the attendance program, if you wish.

Reminder: Should a student not appear on your list in the attendance or grade viewer, or if a student appears that does not belong in your class, complete a Roster Update (Path: Pinnacle/Update Roster).
