Introduction to Rosters

Group your students into the Rosters you see every day and share your Rosters with other teachers.

Written by Amanda Banik

Students are automatically added to Grade Level Rosters when they're added to LiveSchool. Grade Level Rosters cannot be edited from the Rosters screen, but you can change a student's grade by editing the student.

Rosters are essential for organizing and managing your students, and by following these simple steps, you'll be able to set up a new roster in no time.

Creating a New Roster from the Points Screen

From the Roster Picker, select "+Roster". Once you give your Roster a name, you can select students for your new Roster.

Pro Tip: Consider adding your last name to your Roster's name to make it easier to identify, especially if you have multiple Rosters for different classes or periods.

Creating a New Roster from the Setup > Rosters Screen

In the left-side menu, under Setup, choose Rosters. Once there, click on "+New Roster" in the top-right corner. After naming your Roster, you can select students for your new Roster.



In LiveSchool, teachers and administrators can easily grant access to their Rosters to other teachers and staff. There are three options:

From the Points Screen

From the Points screen, click on "Edit Rosters" in the top-right corner. Click on "Shared with" on the let and select additional teachers who need quick access to this Roster.

From Setup > Users

From the Setup > Users > User Detail page, click on "Add to Roster" and select which Rosters this specific teacher needs access to.

From Setup > Rosters

From Setup > Rosters > Roster Detail page, click on "+Add Teacher" and select the teacher(s) that need quick access to this Roster.


Adding or removing students from a Roster updates the Roster for everyone that has that Roster shared with them. Please note that Clever Rosters MUST be adjusted in a school's SIS/Clever rather than using the directions below.

From the left-side menu, select Setup and then Students. Once you've found the student whose Rosters you'd like to manage, click the student name and scroll down until you see "Add to Roster" on the right.

When you've selected "Add to Roster", a list of all available Rosters will appear. Simply click on the green circle on the right to add a student to a Roster, or unclick the green check mark to remove a student from the Roster.

You can also scroll through the Assigned Rosters section and select "Unassign" to remove a student from a Roster.

Add or Remove Rosters from the Points Screen

Selecting "Edit Roster" in the top-right corner of the Points screen will enable two options: red x's to remove students, and an "+Add Students" option, which will open a list of all students in your school.

Use the search function to speed up finding the students you need.

Add or Remove Rosters from the Setup > Rosters Screen

In the left-side menu, under Setup, choose Rosters. Once there, select the Roster you'd like to edit. Click "Remove" to remove a student from the Roster. Click "+Add Student" to add additional students to the Roster.


You can rename R‍osters to easily know which class that specific Roster represents.

There are two places in LiveSchool to rename your Rosters:

  • Roster Picker on the Points or Rewards Screen

  • In the Setup > Rosters section

Renaming a Roster in one of these locations will rename the Roster in the other location.

Rename a Roster from the Roster Picker

Open the Roster Picker to see your "My Rosters", which are all of the Rosters that you’ve created or have been shared with you.

Click the three dots to the right of the Roster name. Select 'Rename' and enter a new name for the Roster.

Rename a Roster from the Setup > Rosters Screen

Click on Setup > Rosters in the left-side menu. To get to the Roster detail page, select the Roster you'd like to edit. Once there, edit the Roster name.

Renaming a Roster will rename it for everyone the Roster is shared with.


In case there are Rosters you use less often, you can hide a Roster to take it out of your Rosters list.

Hide a Roster on the Points Screen:

  • Select the Roster Picker

  • Click the three dots to the right of the roster name

  • Choose Hide Roster

Unhide a Roster on the Points Screen:

  • Select the Roster Picker

  • Select the Hidden icon in the upper, right-hand side of the Roster Picker

  • For the Roster you need to unhide. Click the three dots to the right of the Roster name

  • Choose Unhide


Updating Grade Rosters

Grade Rosters are "locked" and cannot be updated. To view all students in a grade, you can use the Roster Picker, and to change which grade Roster a student appears in edit the student and change their grade.
