When setting up your future Academic Terms, we recommend copying the data from your current term. This will copy over schools, classrooms, and teachers so you don't have to add everything again. It does not copy over students.
The Classrooms Tab allows you to view all classrooms within your School or District so that you can quickly manage them all in one place.
Adding Classrooms
1. From the District Dashboard, click the Classrooms button to access your classroom list.
2. You can add a new classroom using the +Add Classroom at the top of your class list.
Reviewing and Editing Classrooms
1. From the District Dashboard, click the Classrooms button to access your classroom list.
2. The Classroom list will allow you to view existing classrooms. You can filter by Name, School, Grade, Teacher (Yes/No), Student Bookshelves (Yes/No), and Students Without Licenses (Yes/No). These filters can help you verify your classrooms are set up properly.
3. Update an existing classroom using the Pencil icon in the Actions column to the left. Any updates made will only be reflected in the selected term and will not change any other terms.
*Please note that classroom usernames are unique across the entire Digital Reader platform. Classroom usernames cannot be reused across past, current, or future terms. We recommend adding a year to your classroom username to differentiate classrooms. If you prefer to use the same username, you will need to remove the username from your past classroom before using it for your new classroom.
Importing Classrooms
If you are looking to add multiple classrooms, you can use the Import Classrooms tool to add these in bulk. This can be done by both district and school admins by following the below steps.
1. From the District Dashboard, click the Classrooms button to access your classroom list.
2. Click the Import Classrooms button, then click the New Classroom Import button.
3. Click the Download the Import Template button and populate the fields by following the Template Key. If UPDATING an existing classroom, ensure that the classroom name input into the spreadsheet matches the current classroom name in Digital Reader. If the classroom names do not match, a new classroom will be created.
- Please note that classroom usernames are unique across the entire Digital Reader platform. This means that classroom usernames cannot be reused across past, current, or future terms. We recommend adding a year to your classroom username to differentiate classrooms. If you prefer to use the same username, you will need to remove the username from your past classroom before you will be able to use it for your new classroom.
4. The classroom import can then be reviewed and imported to add new classrooms.
If you need to edit or remove a large number of classrooms, you can click on Export Classrooms to download the current list. Next, make any edits necessary to that list and then re-import the list using the Import Classrooms button. Classrooms will need to match by Classroom Name if updating existing classrooms.
