SchoolStatus Connect enables students to be grouped, in addition to their assigned classes. With different activities at school that group students from different classes together it is necessary that specialists such as coaches, teacher's aides, speech therapists, tutors, RTI, PLC, and other specialists can access the data of students who are not in their set scope (assigned class).
There are two types of Groups that can be created:
- Staff Groups - Groups of staff/teachers created by Administrators to allow them access to students who are not in their scope
- Student Groups - Groups of students created by teachers or Administrators who are in their scope.
Note: Any Student Group created by a teacher will be checked nightly against the district SIS (Student Information System) to ensure accuracy for scope of access. These specific Student Groups will be updated based on roster changes during our nightly sync and will ONLY remove students who are no longer assigned to that teacher.
Note:Groups created by teachers from the previous school year are DELETED once the new school year begins. Any group created by an administrator or via Searchlight will remain unless deletion is requested by the district.
Staff Groups
A Staff Group defines staff/teachers who have permission to view a Student Group. (When we say "users," we mean SchoolStatus account users.) Examples of Staff Groups might include:
- A "2016 Basketball Coaches" Staff Group with permission to view the Student Group "2016 Basketball Players," so coaches can see parent contact information; an "Athletic Department" Staff Group that allows the Athletic Director and select athletic staff to monitor athletes' grades and attendance.
- A "Bus Coordinators" Staff Group to oversee bus riders
- Staff who chaperone a field trip or school activity
- Classroom aide for a teacher

Student Groups
A Student Group is simply a custom-made roster of some but not all students, created to meet the needs of SchoolStatus users. Students can be added or removed to keep the group up-to-date. The students can only be added to a Student Group if they are within the scope of the teacher/administrator making the Group.
