A note on where this data originates for Skyward SIS ...
The credit and progress grades listed below the course on the student's Schedule come from Skyward's posted grades in the student's course history. Teachers must post grades from their Skyward gradebook in order for grades to appear in the course history, and teachers are free to change grades after they have been posted. Moreover, counselors and anyone else with access to a student's grade history are free to change the course history grades at any point.
The data for the Gradebook Viewer widget comes from Skyward's Gradebooks. The grade listed for a course when a user selects the Grades button is a suggested calculation based on all the assignments a student has taken to date and should not be considered a final grade.
These "buckets", gradebook grades and course history grades, are two completely separate sets of data we receive from Skyward. Since they are separate buckets please do not expect them to have the same data. Educators should not compare the Gradebook Viewer grades to the grades listed on the student Schedule widget.
If you are only interested in the final, posted grades for a student, defer to those listed in the student's Schedule widget. The Class Grades extract is also an excellent resource.
Also note, the Schedule widget does not show 'dropped' classes.
The Schedule widget displays an entity's (student, class, teacher, etc.) schedule for the current school year.
Schedule--Student
The Schedule widget appears on a Student's Spotlight tab. It displays the student's course schedule for the current school year.
Courses are shown in a chart by grading term and period. Grades are shown under the courses. The top grades, in a given period, are credit earning grades. The lower grades are progress reporting grades.
Click a course cell in the chart for a quick profile of that course's details.
Click the Calendar button in the widget toolbar to select a previous school year. Click the Refresh button
to return to the current year.
Click the Fullscreen button to view the schedule in a new browser window. Click the Print button

I'm not able to see the which classroom the student(s) are in.
Claudia-
If you don't see it that data provided then that data is most likely not part of the data being loaded into Homeroom by your district.
If that is something you see as a benefit to have in Homeroom, I would suggest you contact your district's Homeroom contact or Technology Director to see if something like that is possible.
I hope this answer helps you, but please let us know if you have other questions.
Thank you,
Debbie
