Your N is too small for any conclusive results, assuming this is homework, you need to run the ANOVA and interpret the results. You should have all you need to answer your question now.

It's a two sample test, you need to have two columns one for your grouping variable and one for you values, so Class is your grouping variable and Grade is your continuous.
What is the hypothesis you're testing?

the hypothesis im testing is that that the morning class performed worse than the afternoon class

morning class is 1 and afternoon is 2

If your hypothesis only goes one way, i.e. it was excluded from the start that the morning class could do better than afternoon class, consider the unilateral test p-value under "Pr < Z". But if both outcomes were possible, look at the Pr > |Z| prob.

 

Those results are approximate (but usually pretty good). You may also request an EXACT test, if available in your version of SAS.

Is this the Pr<z under the t approximation column? Also as I did this for a 2 sided test would I divide this answer by 2 for a one sided test. Thank you!
