Teachers might have created multiple classes with a few students and thought of just merging them into one big class so it can be easily managed. If all classes will receive the same Announcement and Activities from the Teacher, it makes sense to merge these classes into just one class.
Example: we need to merge “Mr. Jackson's 3rd Grade Class” and "Mr. Jackson's 1st Grade Class” into one.
Note: Teachers don’t have the option to merge classes, but School Leaders have the option to do this on their end.
The process involves three steps:
- Creating the new class on the school page
-
Moving the students from the old class to the new class and removing the students from the old class
CREATE THE NEW CLASS ON THE SCHOOL PAGE
1. Click the drop-down
2. Select the correct school
3. On the School page, go to Classroom
4. Click the three dots
5. Click Create New Class
6. Enter the new class name, choose the grade level, and click Create Classroom
The new class will now appear on the Classrooms page of the School page.
MOVE THE STUDENT FROM THE OLD CLASS TO THE NEW CLASS AND REMOVE THE STUDENT FROM THE OLD CLASS
Go to the student's old class on the Classrooms page.
Example: We’ll go to “Mr. Jackson's 1st Grade Class” first.
1. On the class page, click Directory
2. Click the student’s name to open the Student Profile
3. On the Student Profile, click the + icon next to Classes
4. Choose the new class to which the student will be added
5. Click Assign
Example: we’ll add the student to “Mr. Jackson's 3rd Grade Class.”
After adding the student to the new class, the new class will appear on the student’s profile.
6. To remove the student from the old class, click Edit
7. Click ⛔ before the old class name
Example: We’ll remove Ava from “Mr. Jackson’s 1st Grade Class” which is the old class.
8. Click Confirm
A message that says “The student has been disconnected successfully” will appear on top for a few seconds that indicates that the student has been removed from the class.
Note: Do the same steps for the other students until all students are added to the new class and removed from the original class.
