How To Add Students to your Online Account

You have created your online account, created your online classroom, and added your publications.

Now you can Add Students, using one of 3 ways. 

Watch this video for a quick tutorial, or use the step-by-step instructions below:

Create Student Accounts Manually

• In the blue menu bar, click on the Classes tab
• Select the student's classroom in the Class Menu on the left

• Click Add Student in the upper right-hand corner
• Type in Students' first name, last name, username and password
  • Username must be unique. Try adding student ID or some identifier. If you are using our Google Classroom Integration, then the username must be your students’ Google Classroom email.

Please keep in mind that this is a national database of students. The student username must be unique. If you are told your username is taken, please add a unique identifier such as a birthday, student ID number, etc.

• Click Add Student

The student will appear in the class you assigned them. Now add the next student.

NOTE: Once you have added all your students, inform them of their username and password. Again, if you are using Google Classroom, then just let them know to use that same login. If you are not using Google classroom, then you can print out their username and password and pass them out to students, or cut and paste each one into an email sent to parents.

Import a List of Students

Create an Excel file with 4-6 columns (parent name and email are optional)

• Click on the gear icon in the upper right-hand corner

• Select Import Students to this Class

A pop-up window will open.

• Choose the Excel file you created
• Choose the Classroom from the drop-down menu
• Click Upload CSV

You will be taken to a new screen.

• In the first row, you would choose the header that matches each of your columns. (If you had header information in your Excel file, click to Exclude that row so it does not create students with that information.)
• Click Import

This student information will be added to the selected class list.

NOTE: Once you have added all your students, inform them of their username and password. Again, if you are using Google Classroom, then just let them know to use that same login. If you are not using Google classroom, then you can print out their username and password and pass them out to students, or cut and paste each one into an email sent to parents.

Generate Student Registration Codes (Not recommended for younger students)

• Select the student's classroom in the Class Menu on the left
• Click on the gear icon in the upper right-hand corner.

• Select Generate Student Registration Codes from the drop-down menu
• Enter the number of codes needed (Number of Students) and select your classroom
• Click Generate.

This will create a printable PDF with an access code and instructions for each student.

NOTE: Once you have added all your students, inform them of their username and password. Again, if you are using Google Classroom, then just let them know to use that same login. If you are not using Google classroom, then you can print out their username and password and pass them out to students, or cut and paste each one into an email sent to parents.
