The Students Page

Students in the left-hand menu of the Teacher Portal opens one list of every student you teach, across every class. This article is about that page: how to find someone in it, and what the toolbar does to the students you tick. To work with the students in a single class instead, open the class from Classes and use its Students tab.

The table has four columns: Student, Grade, Class and Last Login. Student prints a student's name with their username underneath it, and Class names the class they belong to, which is what makes this one list rather than several. Student and Last Login carry sort arrows in their headings.

The page shows 50 students at a time. The item count and the page controls sit under the table, and the Show list beside them raises that to 75, 100, 150 or 200.

A green exclamation mark beside a name means that student's settings differ from the class defaults. Hover it and it says so: "This user setting has been uniquely modified for this student."

The Search Students box narrows the table as you type, so a surname is usually enough to get down to one row.

Filter, at the left-hand end of the toolbar, opens a panel with two dropdowns - Class and Last Login - and a Reset and an Apply beneath them.

Tick the box at the left of a student's row to choose them, or use the checkbox in the header row to select all. Student Settings, Reset Progress and Delete stay grayed out until at least one student is ticked; Filter, the search box and Add Students work either way.

Student Settings opens Bulk Edit Students, which lists the students you ticked and carries Details, Games, Lessons, Grading, Goals, Advanced Options and Accessibility tabs. What you change there applies to every student in that list. Change Individual Student Settings covers the settings themselves.

Reset Progress opens a dialog that asks which curriculum you are resetting and which kinds of progress to clear: typing lessons, digital literacy lessons, coding lessons, games, achievements, typing activity and typing tests. The dialog says of itself, "This action is final and cannot be undone."

Both Reset Progress and Delete ask you to type the word CONFIRM into a Confirm field before they will run, and both offer Cancel.

For what a reset does to a student's account, see Reset Student Progress.

Delete opens a dialog headed Delete Students, asking "Are you sure you want to delete the selected students?"

How to Delete Students from Your Class walks that through.

Add Students, at the right-hand end of the toolbar, opens Add or Create Students.

Pick a class in Select a Class first; the four cards below it stay inactive until you do. Then choose one of them: Create a Student, Create Students, Import Student List or Students Self-Join. How to Know the Best Way to Add Students compares them.

Watch Tutorial, at the top of the page, opens a short video covering the same ground.
