    Class Code Entry Window

  5. Type the class code in the Input Class Code: box.

  6. Click the Join Class button.

Note

You only have to do this one time for the entire school year.

Excluding Students From a Class

You can 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

  1. 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.

  2. Click Include/Exclude Student Icon to exclude the student from class. The button turns gray.

  3. Click the button again to include the student in the class.

Dismissing Students From a Class

You can 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

  1. Start a class.

  2. Click the tile of the student to dismiss.

  3. Click the DISMISS FROM CLASS button to dismiss the student from the class. A confirmation prompt appears.

  4. Click Yes. The student is immediately removed from the class.
