Select ‘Settings’ at the top of the teacher dashboard
Click on ‘MANAGE’ in the ‘Manage students’ box
Click ‘Add a class’
This can be used to create new student accounts or to move existing accounts to a new class.
Enter your class details.
Type in the class name at the top.
Under ‘Grade’ choose the grade of the class from the drop-down list.
lf the class is made up of students from different grades choose the ‘Mixed Grades’ option. Their Grade can be specified in Step 5.
Type in or copy and paste (from your own documents) the first and last name of the students (in that order) in the text box. If they have an existing account, their accounts can be moved to the new class in Step 6.
Click ‘SET UP CLASS’
*Optional* Choose your students’ grades.
If ‘Mixed Grades’ was selected in Step 4, individual grades can be set now. Choose each students’ grade from the drop-down list.

Click on the drop-down box to view the other accounts matching the name. If one of the results is the student you are trying to add to a new class, select this account.
If the student you are adding is a new student, click on the box ‘Create new’. This will create a new account for the student. Click ‘Confirm matches’ to create your class and add your students
Print out the students’ login details and a letter for parents.
