Student Groups Add-On

Our Student Groups Add-On allows you to easily create student groups that can be used to add multiple students to a lesson quickly and efficiently.

This add-on is useful for any company that offers group lessons. As an example, if you run a music school and you have frequent group sessions with the same students, you can create a student group to make it very easy to select them when scheduling lessons. If you are running a summer bootcamp and it involves a group lesson, you can create a group for these students to streamline scheduling.

Enabling the Add-on

1. Click on "Account & Settings" and then click on "Integrations & Add-ons".
2. Use the "Search" field on the right and enter "Student Groups".
3. Click on the "Enable" link.

Usage

Once the add-on has been enabled, you can click on “Manage Groups” to begin adding student groups. You can add a student student group following the steps below:

1. Click on the "Add Student Group" link on the right-hand side.
2. In the "Group Name" field, add a group name (remember to make this as descriptive as possible to make it easy to identify the appropriate group when scheduling lessons).
3. In the "Students" field, add as many students that will be added to the group.
4. In the "Make Visible To" setting, you can make the student group visible to "All Teachers" or "Selected Teachers".  If you choose the "Selected Teachers" option, you’ll be able to select the relevant teachers from the list.
5. Click “Save” or “Save & Add Another” to quickly another group.

NOTE: Students can also be added to a group directly from their profile. You can find this option under Student Details > Student Groups

Assigning a Student Group to a Lesson

You can follow the steps below to assign a Student Group you've created to a lesson:

1. Click on "Calendar" and then click on "Add Lesson".
2. Just below the "Students" field, click on the "Add students from group" link.
   
    
3. Select the student group from the list and click the “Add” button to assign the students in the group to the lesson.
   
   
4. If you’d like to assign another group to the lesson, click the “Add Students from Group” link again and repeat the steps above.

Permissions

Student Groups are always visible in the company administrator account and staff accounts with the "Students & Families" permission set to "Manage". If you’ve made the group visible to specific teachers, these teachers will be able to select the group when scheduling lessons.

NOTE: Only students that are assigned to the teacher will be added to the lesson.
