Student Report Video

The FitnessGram Student Report: Provides individual students with information about their fitness levels, including performance against the Healthy Fitness Zone standards and information about the fitness component.

Note: Student Reports can be printed and provided to parents and students. 

The Completion Report: Shows the percentage of students who have data entered by component. Once you have entered all scores for students, your report should calculate a 100% Completion Rate. You will want to confirm this before notifying your District Administrator that you have met the TEA requirement. 

The FitnessGram Overview Report: Provides Teachers and Admins with a graphic representation of Healthy Fitness Zone percentage for each fitness component. Use this report to adjust your curriculum or as a physical education advocacy tool. Data drives decisions!

Import Video

The import process is the recommended way for Texas Independent School Districts to add or update student, teacher, and class assignments. The steps include:

1. Checking districts and schools to confirm your State-assigned IDs are used as your School Identifiers.

2. Creating a file to include all of your student and class rosters. The file requirements can be found at https://help.fitnessgram.net/import/.

3. Creating a mapping to assign the headers of your file to the fields in the system.

4. Importing the file.

To schedule automated imports click the view FTP credentials link on the Import page to open your district’s unique credentials for setup with your third party vendor.

OneRoster Video

FitnessGram now accepts files in the OneRoster version 1.1 format. FitnessGram® requires 7 OneRoster™ CSV files for bulk processing: manifest.csv, orgs.csv, users.csv, classes.csv, enrollments.csv, academicSessions.csv, and demographics.csv.

Each of these files has both required and optional fields. You are able to find an outline of which fields are required for each file for FitnessGram under help.fitnessgram.net/oneroster-imports/.

SSO Video

If your Texas Independent School District would like to utilize Single Sign On or SSO, you will need to notify our FitnessGram Help Desk by visiting https://help.fitnessgram.net/help-desk/ and submitting a ticket.  

Note: FitnessGram can support one of the following protocols: WS-Federation, OAuth2, or OpenID Connect (Also known as ADFS, ClassLink, or Google). FitnessGram cannot support SAML.

Manage Users Video

To manually update class rosters within FitnessGram, click Data Management and Manage Classes to find your classes. A district or school admin role is required to add, edit or delete a class. 

Next, go to Data Management and Manage Users. This is where you will find your students organized by school. Teachers can now request to add a student. This request would need to be approved by a district or school admin.

Click on a user’s name for more information. This screen is now organized into two tabs, Basic User Information and Manage Users Assignments. To add a student or teacher to a class, click the Manage User Assignments tab and then Add Class. 

To unassign a user from a class, click the Manage User Assignments tab and then simply click the garbage can, then Unassign. 

If you have multiple accounts for the same user, the District Administrator is responsible for merging these accounts.
