How to add Students to Classes


Classes are the primary means by which students are monitored.  They are the basis for reporting as well.  As a result, it is critical for teachers to create comprehensive class rosters and to keep them updated by adding and removing students from them.  


Note:  classes are just temporary “buckets” used to organize students.  Dropping students into buckets is the basis for reporting and monitoring.  Students can be added to as many buckets as teachers want them added to; many teachers can have the same student in their classes.
