Adding classrooms and students by hand

For a small school or a single new student — skip the spreadsheet and just type it in.

For a small school, or when you're just adding a single student mid-campaign, doing it by hand is quicker than fiddling with a spreadsheet.

Adding a classroom

  1. 1

    Click Classrooms in your sidebar, then New classroom

    The "New classroom" button sits in the top-right of the classrooms list.

  2. 2

    Fill in the name and grade

    The name is what families will see on the take-home sheet and donation page — pick something they'd recognize. Grade is just a label.

    Adding a classroom

Adding students one at a time

On the classroom page, scroll to the student list. There's a quick form at the bottom — type a first name, last name, click add. We'll make their activation code and donation page on the spot.

Adding a student

Tip

The form jumps back to the start after each student, so you can rattle through 20 names faster than you'd think.

Editing or removing

Each student row has buttons to edit their name, swap their activation code (see Replacing a lost take-home sheet), or remove them. You can remove students up until reading wraps up — after that, the roster's frozen.

Don't remove students mid-campaign

Removing wipes out their donation page and any minutes they've already logged. If a student moves to a different classroom, edit their existing record — don't delete and remake, or their parents' bookmarks won't work anymore.

Adding and removing students is something only school admins can do. Teachers can see their roster and log minutes, but they can't add or remove students.
