The Student Groups Add-On streamlines scheduling for group classes by allowing you to bundle multiple students into a single, reusable group. Instead of manually adding every student one by one each time you book a class, you can assign the entire group to a lesson with a single click.
Common Use Cases
Recurring Group Classes: Ideal for programs (like music ensembles or language cohorts) where the exact same students meet together on a consistent schedule.
Short-Term Programs: Perfect for temporary cohorts, such as a multi-week summer bootcamp or a seasonal test-prep workshop.
Enabling the Add-on
Click on "Account" and then click on "Integrations & Add-ons".
Use the "Search" field at the top and enter "Student Groups".
Switch the toggle to "On" to enable the add-on.
Usage
Once the add-on is enabled, you can immediately begin building your rosters by clicking the Manage Groups link. You can add a student student group following the steps below:
Click on the "New" button on the right-hand side.
In the "Group Name" field, add a group name (remember to make this as descriptive as possible to make it easy to identify the appropriate group when scheduling lessons).
In the "Students" field, add as many students that will be added to the group.
In the "Make Visible To" setting, you can make the student group visible to "All Teachers" or "Selected Teachers". If you choose the "Selected Teachers" option, you’ll be able to select the relevant teachers from the list.
Click “Save” or “Save & Add Another” to quickly another group.
NOTE: Students can also be added to a group directly from their profile. You can find this option under the "Student Details" section using the "Student Groups" field.
Assigning a Student Group to a Lesson
You can follow the steps below to assign a Student Group to a lesson:
Click on "Calendar" and then click on "Add Lesson".
Just below the "Students" field, click on the "Add students from group" button.
Select the student group from the list and click the “Add” button to assign the students in the group to the lesson.
If you’d like to assign another group to the lesson, click the “Add Students from Group” link again and repeat the steps above.
Permissions
Student Groups are always visible in the company administrator account and staff accounts with the "Students & Families" permission set to "Manage". If you’ve made the group visible to specific teachers, these teachers will be able to select the group when scheduling lessons.
NOTE: Only students that are assigned to the teacher will be added to the lesson.
