Group Classes Together

You may want to group several classes together to create a single roster of students. This feature is often used by Special Education teachers who have students scheduled in several classes because it lets them use a combined class roster and create a single seating chart. Once the classes have been grouped together, the individual classes can be hidden from the Teacher Home Page, if desired. From the grouped class, you can enter attendance, enter report card grades, create a seating chart, and, in some cases, maintain assignments from a single location for all of the students.

If you are using standards-based report cards, the group classes together option cannot be used for maintaining assignments across classes of different subjects or report cards. Assignments cannot be associated with multiple report cards through this feature. Instead, you can use assignment sharing to create a single assignment and associate it with multiple classes and report cards. The Progress by Student and Standards-Based Grid screens also do not work with class groups where the individual classes are associated with different report cards.
