ProgressBook Integration with Google

This section applies only to Ohio Clients who are users of ProgressBook and who wish to enhance the student learning experience. ProgressBook authenticated users may now access and share certain information between Google and ProgressBook.

What information does ProgressBook use from my Google account? After a user authorizes ProgressBook to use a Google account, ProgressBook uses the following information from Google:

  • Basic profile information
  • Email address
  • Google Plus information

Once users are logged into ProgressBook, they can approve certain information to be downloaded from Google Classroom for use in GradeBook and ParentAccess.

What information from my Google account does ProgressBook share? While Frontline Technologies Group, LLC and ProgressBook do not share information explicitly, after granting permission for ProgressBook to access Google accounts, authorized ProgressBook users can import assignment data from Google Classroom.

How does ProgressBook protect my information? Your information is encrypted and transmitted to us securely. The information is only used so that we can provide satisfactory services to you and your school district(s). Only employees who need the information to perform a specific task (such as assisting in Google OAuth setup) are granted access to it. School districts set up permissions to allow access to authorized staff, students, and parents according to each district's policies related to student data.

What information does ProgressBook retain and when is it deleted?

  1. When a ProgressBook user decides to sync from their Google Classroom to ProgressBook the assignment scores are stored by ProgressBook as Mark, and an ID is created and stored by ProgressBook as SourceID.
  2. If a ProgressBook user updates grades in their Google Classroom and then syncs it to ProgressBook, ProgressBook will update the Mark and SourceID will remain the same.
  3. When a ProgressBook user deletes the assignment that was synced from Google Classroom, then ProgressBook will delete Mark and SourceID.

ProgressBook's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
