Scheduling Classes

Classes can be scheduled to automatically start.

In order to schedule classes, the administrator must enable class scheduling from the System submenu of the Settings menu with the setting Allow scheduled class sessions.

When enabled by an administrator, class auto-start options appear on the class edit page.

To schedule a class, enable the toggle. You can autostart classes using bell schedules or manually set start and end times for your class.

For auto starting classes using bell schedule, simply select the period/block from dropdown menu. These periods/blocks will be pre-defined by the school admin.

If you choose the manual way, just select the days, and set your class to have same schedule or different schedule.

If the class is run at the same time every day, select Same Schedule.

To schedule a class to start at different times or run for different durations based on the day of the week, select Different Schedule.

Set session start and end start time for your class and save your changes.

You can also set the class to auto-start multiple times during the same day. This makes it easy to handle classes that have a break in the middle, such as lunch or “specials”, and then return for the remainder of the class.

Click the + icon to add another session for the class.

Set the start and end time for Session 2, and save your changes.

Notes

• When scheduling a class, there is no option to exclude absent students from class since the class starts automatically. If a student needs to be excluded, click the menu on the student card and select Exclude from class.

• Scheduled classes will run even if that class's teacher is not logged in.

• A class schedule will automatically deactivate if the class has zero students or zero teachers.
