If you choose not to add your roster while you were registering and you are now ready to or you have a new class and would like to create a roster for it, simply go to the Teacher Home and click the Class Manager link.
 
The Class Manager allows users to:

• Add/remove students from existing rosters.
• View student information (i.e. passwords).

Follow these steps to create a new class:

• In the space provided, enter the name and description of the class you wish to create.

 

• Click the Create Class button.

Follow these steps to add students to your roster:

• To add a new student who has never been registered, click the Create a New Student link, and insert the following information as depicted in the image below:

 

• Enter a username. Notice that behind the field is an underscore "_" followed by your school's zip code. When a student needs to login, they must enter "username_zipcode". Note: To protect the privacy of your students, you may NOT use a student's real name as the username. You may use combinations of initials of the first and last names (ie. carriej, cjones, or crj) or nicknames. Accounts with real names as the username will be DELETED and all information erased.
• Enter a password. This password may be a generic password (i.e. "12345"). It is recommended that you advise your students to change their password as soon as possible. You may look up their password at any time by viewing your class roster.
• Enter the student's first and last name. You may use their real names in these fields, since this information is only viewable by you.
• Click the Create Student button when you are finished.
  
  

• To add students already registered in other classes or students who have already registered themselves, simply enter their username (ie. John_66045) and click the Add Student button. Note: if you have students who have already registered themselves or whom other teachers have registered, you will need to ask those students for their usernames.

 

• You may add students to this class whom you have already registered by clicking the Add button next to their names in the list.

• Repeat the processes above, until you have added all students to your list.
