Adding Students to a Class, and Excluding and Dismissing Students From Class
This section shows you how to add students to a class, and exclude and dismiss students from a class.
Add as many students to a class as needed.
Note
Students cannot be added to a class while a class is in session.
Click the Students button. The Classroom Students window opens.
Type the first name only, last name only, or the first part of the student email only that you want to add to the class in the Search for a student... text box.
Click the icon. The student(s) you searched for appear below the search box, as shown below.
Note
Students who are not part of an OU assigned to you cannot be added to class when the Student OU Restriction setting is enabled on the Teacher Dashboard Settings on the Admin Dashboard.
Click the plus sign to the right of the student(s) to add to the class.
Click Add student(s). The student tile appears in the class.
There may be times when you need to provide a student with a class code. When you need to do so, also give the student the following procedure for entering the class code.
Go to blocksi.net.
Hover your mouse cursor over the down arrow to the right of the blue Login as Teacher button.
Click Student.
Enter your credentials and sign in. The following screen appears.
Type the class code in the Input Class Code: box.
Click the Join Class button.
Note
You only have to do this one time for the entire school year.
Exclude a student from a class when the class is in session.
Excluding a student is a temporary exclusion, unlike dismissing a student. Anything you do in that class does not affect the student and you cannot see that student's screen. However, this does not permanently dismiss the student from the class as you can include the student once again if needed.
To exclude a student from class
Start a class. At the top right of a student’s tile is the Exclude/Include button. It defaults to include the student and appears in orange.
Click to exclude the student from class. The button turns gray.
Click the button again to include the student in the class.
Dismiss a student from a class anytime during the class. Dismissing a student from class is different from excluding a student from class.
To dismiss a student from class
Start a class.
Click the tile of the student to dismiss.
Click the DISMISS FROM CLASS button to dismiss the student from the class. A confirmation prompt appears.
Click Yes. The student is immediately removed from the class.
