Registering students

Once you have registered a class, or classes, you can begin the process of registering students. Click on the "students" tab in the control menu. You will see two sections: My Registered Students and Register New Student. Fill in the fields for "Register New Student". You will notice that you are required to give students a user name and password. Think of names that will be easy to remember for the student. User names, however, must be unique. After you have filled in the user name and password for your first student, select the class in which you want to put the student from the drop-down menu. You must repeat this process for all of your students you wish to be registered. After each student is registered, his or her name will appear in the "My Registered Students" section. See the picture below. Remember, students that you register must log in as "School Users".

Actions

On the picture above, you will notice the "Actions" section of the picture is highlighted. When each student is registered, the teacher can perform various actions with regards to that student. Teachers can delete the student by clicking "Delete Account". Teachers can also enable and disable student to student messaging. The student messaging system enables students to send messages to each other, somewhat like an in-house e-mail system. The system also allows for teachers to send messages to students and receive messages from students. See below for more details.
