Create a class and enroll students

A class holds its own students, assignments, grades, attendance, and report card comments. Anyone with access to Classes can create one, and the person who creates it becomes its teacher.

Before you start

Add your terms on School setup and your students to the roster. See Set up terms, the grading scale, and grade levels.

Steps

1. In the rail, open Classes. Click Gradebook.
2. Under New class, type a Name like Science 8 and a Subject. Pick the Term. It starts on the current term. Pick No term (all year) for a class that runs all year.
3. Click Create class. The class page opens.
4. Under Enroll students, type a name or school ID in Search, or pick a Grade, and click Filter. Tick the students and click Enroll selected.
5. To add a whole grade, pick the grade with the search box empty, click Filter, then click Enroll all of grade and confirm.
6. To paste a list, use Or paste a list. Put one student per line as a school ID, First Last, or Last, First. Click Enroll the list.

Good to know

• After you paste a list, the page tells you how many lines matched no one or more than one student. Check those names.
• Only active students show in the enroll list. It shows 300 at a time, so search or filter on a big roster.
• A class counts on report cards for its own term. A class with no term counts in every term.
• Enrolling a student does not email the family.
