Managing Classes & Events

This section covers day to day management of classes once your classes have been set up and events have been set up.

How do I contact everyone in a class?

The class attendance list provides an email button that you can use to send an email to everyone in the class.

How do I cancel a class?

If there are students registered for the class, it will show in the Attendance list. Select the class so that is displays in the edit side bar and select the Cancel button from the toolbar up top.

The cancel button is the x button to the left of the trashcan in the picture below.

If there are no students registered, the class may have not been created yet (see 'Why doesn't my class show?' above). You can create the class however by selecting the '+' or 'Add Class' button. The dialog allows you to find the class and will create the class if it already does not exist. Once the class is created, you can select it in the Attendance grid so that is displays in the edit side bar and select the Cancel button from the toolbar up top to cancel it.

When a class is cancelled, any students registered are sent an email letting them know that the class has been cancelled. The class will still show in the student's schedule but it will be noted as canceled with no way to signup for the class.

When Should I Delete a Class?

Sometimes you simply don't want the class to show up in the schedule. If you cancel a class, it will still show up in the schedule as being "cancelled". If you delete the class it won't show in the schedule at all.

How Do I Enter a Substitute Teacher?

Sometimes you may want to change the teacher for just one or a few classes. As shown in the picture below, the teacher can be changed in the edit console on a class instance basis. This edit will just be for a single class session. Both classes in the future and in the past can be edited this way.

Once this change is made, the student schedule is immediately updated to show the sub as shown below. Note that, now the substitute will be sent the Class Digest email instead of the teacher.
