Last updated on May 1, 2025

Creating and filtering student and parent groups

  • Navigate to myGroups > Student Groups or Parent Groups to add parents (Image 1).
  • Select the Create a Group button in the top right hand corner.
  • Enter the name of your new group in the popup and select the Create button.
  • Your new group will populate under the Groups field on the left side.
  • Search or scroll the member listings and select the Add button on the right side.
  • You can remove them from the group by selecting the Remove button.
  • Use the checkboxes in the Groups listing to filter your members listing. Members of the group will have a bold, blue listing and you will see a Remove button to the right of their name. Non-members will not be bolded and they will have the Add button next to their name.
  • Student and Parent account listings will include all groups the student or parent is a member of.

Assigning Students and Parents to Groups

  • Navigate to myGroups > Student Groups to add students to groups.
  • Navigate to myGroups > Parent Groups to add parents to groups.
  • For both types of groups, select the relevant group from the Group checklist, scroll or search for the student or parent listing, and select the "+ Add" button. To remove from groups, select the "Remove" button.

Editing and Deleting Groups

  • On the left sidebar of your dashboard, select myGroups (Image 2).
  • Select Student or Parent Groups (Image 2).
  • Your current groups will populate on the left.
  • In the top right corner of your dashboard, select the Edit Group button (Image 3).
  • You can edit your main group name (the group that includes all members), but you cannot delete this group. This group will be listed first in the dropdown. You can edit the name by deleting the current name, typing the new name, and Save (Image 4).
  • You can edit and delete all other groups by selecting them from the dropdown.
  • You can delete a group by selecting it from the dropdown and selecting Delete (Image 5).

Communicating with Groups

  • Emailing or posting messages by group streamlines the communication, eliminating unnecessary messages to non-relevant members, and making sure everyone who is involved is on the same page.
  • Select all relevant groups, compose your message, and send (Image 6).
