Getting started

Your classroom records stay in Google Workspace files you own. Start with the tool you need; you do not need to set up every module first.

1. Sign in with Google using the account where you keep your classroom files. Approve the permissions for the tools you want to use.
2. Open Hall Pass or the Student Support Log from Home. Teacher OS creates the needed workspace in your Drive when you use the tool.
3. For a shared roster, open Students & Classes, choose a school year, then choose your Google Classroom courses. Classroom access is read-only. You can use grading without importing a Classroom roster.
4. For AI grading, open Plan & feature access. Pro is $4.99/month. Pilot teachers already have access, with no card required. There is no automatic trial.
5. Open Grading Workspace, choose an editable Google response Sheet, select the assignment, and create its grading sheet. Review the questions, weights, and grading prompt before approving a run.
6. Review the generated grades and feedback before sharing anything. Sending feedback is always your decision.

If something interrupts setup

Google or your school blocks access: your school administrator may need to approve Teacher OS. App verification does not override a district restriction. Use the same Google account when reconnecting.

A file is missing: choose it again in the Google Picker and confirm that your signed-in account can edit it. Files in a different Google account are not automatically shared.

You paid but grading is locked: check Plan & feature access and contact support if your access is incorrect. Do not start a second purchase. Manage subscription opens Stripe for payment updates, receipts, and cancellation.

A grading run pauses: completed, verified results are saved in your Sheet. Select Grade Responses again to continue. Rows already marked Graded are left unchanged; review any row errors before retrying.

You changed devices: your files stay in Drive, but some grading preferences and workflow selections are stored in that browser. Choose the file again and review your settings.

You stop paying: new AI grading requires paid or pilot access. Your files are not deleted. Hall Pass and the Student Support Log remain free; existing work stays available in Google Drive.
