What Are District Groups?
District Groups allow you to create and manage groups of students across schools—and assign staff to message and support those students directly from the Teacher Product.
This feature is great for:
Counselors and interventionists supporting students across schools
Specialized staff who need access to specific student groups
Coaches who work with students from different schools within your district
Flexible grouping outside of standard class rosters
What Staff Can See and Do
When a staff member is added to a District Group, they can do the following:
Access and message students in the group from their Teacher Product
See the group in their Classes & Groups section, labeled with the specific district name
Only message students they currently have access to (via group/class)
⚠️ Staff must have a teacher-level role to be assigned to a district group. This ensures access from the Teacher experience.
