Welcome

The Elementary Online Progress Report has been designed to have classroom teachers enter grades using a computer and the Internet. The grades will be recorded in the LAUSD Elementary Student Information System and the progress reports will be printed at the school. The Home Copy can be given to the parent or sent home with the student.

Each teacher will use a Teacher ID# and a Password to access the screens for their class. Grades will be entered during the 3 week mark reporting window prior to the distribution of the Progress Reports. Time will be allotted for the printing of the Progress Reports at the school. The window will remain open for 1 week following the reporting period to allow for error corrections.

Teachers can select up to 8 lines of comments from a list of over 300 to add to the student's report card. Information about the student, previously entered by hand (e.g., Master Plan and Special Education information, Intervention participation), will be added to the Progress Report from information on SIS.

Common Logon Screen

Use the Common Logon screen to logon to the Online Progress Report Card. Before accessing your class information, an account needs to be established. Click on the "New User? Click here" link.

I. SETTING UP AN ACCOUNT

Before you can access the Online Progress Report system, you must set up your account. In setting up a new account to enter report card marks you need to click on the NEW USER link. This link will take you to the LAUSD Single Sign-On Self Service Console.

? All teachers must use the Single Sign on page to activate new accounts or reset a forgotten password.

? The ePals e-mail name is also the username for the Online Progress Reports

? If you are new to the district, click on "Activate your LAUSD email account" and follow the prompts. You will be given your username and allowed to set your PASSWORD and a security HINT question.

? If you forget your username or password hint, you will not be able to reset your own account and must call the helpdesk at (323) 224-2277. Once you have your username and password, you can use this page to reset your password and set your hint.

? Password Hint ? The password hit is the answer to one of several questions that you must choose. This question must be answered in exactly the same manner (It is case sensitive) when prompted to answer. It is probably easiest to remember if you answer all in lower case, but either way it is MOST important to remember your answer. If you have your hint in you can reset a password, choose a new one or unblock yourself if you have become blocked using the second option on the console.

After entering all the required information to establish a valid user ID, click on the CREATE A USER ID button. The following screen will display. Then click on the Login link to return to the Common Logon screen.

After this process, proceed to log in into your classroom and begin entering report card marks.

CHANGE MY PASSWORD OR FORGOT MY PASSWORD: If you have put in your password hint AND REMEMBER IT, you can easily choose a new password (just because you want to OR because you have forgotten your old one). To do this, go to the main page of LAUSD. () Log in as an EMPLOYEE by clicking the link on the left side of the screen.

Click on the picture of JIM (the little man.) Select the second option:

Reset a forgotten password (see password tip)*

Write in the requested information EXACTLY as requested... (eg. A May birth month would be recorded as 05 and the entire birth year must be recorded with four digits like 1979.) Once you press the SELECT button, if you have selected a password hint, you will be prompted to type this in. If you typed the correct password hint, you may select a new password or if you have blocked yourself, you can unblock yourself by changing your password.
