Question: How do I put a Grades link on my teacher page?

Answer:

Once you have done the setup for uploading grades, and have uploaded them at least once, you should update your main teacher web page on the Palms website, to add a link to your grades page. That way, students and teachers can follow the link from a page they already visit, and they won't have to remember yet another website address.
