Add a line at the top of your script to tell it where to find its 
command interpreter:

#! /bin/bash
groupadd "Grade3"
groupadd "Grade2"
groupadd "Grade1"
groupadd "Grade6"

(you can find the name of your shell (/bin/bash) by typing echo $SHELL 
on a commandline)

save your script and make it executable by changing its attributes:

chmod +x yourscript

or

chmod +x /path/to/yourscript

if you're not "standing right next to it"


run it by typing :

/path/to/yourscript

or

./yourscript

if you're able to "see" it from where you are...

cheers
