Creating and Managing Classes

Video Walkthrough

Step-by-step Instructions

1. Log in to Teacher Dashboard:

app.flashlight360.com or via Clever

2. From your landing page, select the Classes tab on the navigation menu.

Adding a Class

3. From your Classes page, select Add Class to start the process of creating a new class.

4. Step 1: Edit Class Details

In this page, you will be introduced to the class creation flow. Within this first part of the flow, you can:

• Select the school that your new class is tied to (if you teach at multiple schools)
• Confirm that you are the Primary Teacher with editing rights going forward (Note: you can not change a primary teacher after a class is created)
• Add Secondary Teacher(s) to your class (Note: If another teacher creates the same class, you will not be able to merge classes so do your best to avoid duplicate efforts). The classes will also appear in the Secondary Teacher's Class page. 
• Create a unique Class Name
• Add a class Period if desired.

When you have confirmed your class details and are ready to move on, select Next.

5. Step 2: Manage Students

In this second step, you will be able to manage the students that make up your class. On this page, you can:

• Search for students by Name or Student ID or by scrolling through the All Students List
• To manage the students in your class, you must first select the checkbox by the student's name, then select Add Selected or Remove Selected (depending on whether you are trying to add or remove a student) to confirm that change in the class list. The students' names will automatically save as you transfer names between lists.

Note: if you do not see the student listed, you can reach out to your District IT person who is in charge of rostering (if you are an SSO district that uses Clever or Classlink), or you can Manually Add a Student if your district is manually rostered. When you have finished adding students to your class, select Next.

6. Step 3: Confirm Changes 

In this final step, you will be able to review your class' details before confirming and creating your class. The confirmation page will tell you the school, class name, period (if chosen), grade(s) that the students in your class are tied to, and the number of students in the class. 

If you would like to make a change, select Back to make edits to Step 1 and Step 2. When you are ready to confirm the class, you can either select Confirm, or Add Another Class if you are creating multiple classes in one session. 

Editing a Class

7. If you would like to make changes to your class, you can select the pencil icon. You will go through the same flow as the class creation flow, but your changes will be noted in red on the Confirm Changes page before saving and going back to Classes.

Note: The class will only be editable if it is created manually. Clever or Classlink rostered districts will have the edit icon greyed out. Reach out to your District ID contact for your district if you have questions. Only the Primary Teacher will be able to make edits to the class.
