You can set your class' more specific default settings right from your class. To do this, first, go to your Classes tab on the left-hand side of your dashboard.



Then, select the class you'd like to adjust the settings for.



Then, head all the way over to the Settings tab.

Settings

Here, you're given a few options that you can detail in for your classroom:

Edit Name

Here, you can edit the name of your classroom.

Class Status

Here, you can set your class as "active" or "paused". If a class is "paused", students will not be able to complete work. This can be handy for preventing those who like to work ahead outside of school hours from doing so.

Schedule

Your class schedule means that these are the days that your class is active. For example, if your students have class Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, then you'll check the box next to those days.

Nickname

For those of you who may have data being rostered in from a third party rostering system such as Google Classroom, you may want to change how your classroom appears to be named to you. Set the nickname to change how the classroom appears in your roster.

Assignment Settings

By setting this, you will be able to ensure that your students must complete assignments that are overdue before they can move forward in the curriculum. This helps to ensure that students stay up-to-date and current in their lesson plan.

Add Default Curriculum

When your students enroll into a classroom, you can search for and add the curriculums you'd like them to have by default. Once you've found the curriculum you'd like, select the "+" button or the "x" button to add or remove the curriculum respectively.

Default Grade for Student Self-Sign Ups

When your students self-register into Yeti Academy, this is the grade that they will automatically populate as. Set whichever grade you'd like incoming students to be listed as. (*Note: This is only relevant when students self-register.)

Show Passwords

When you select Show Passwords, this means from your view of your roster, you will be able to see students' passwords rather than asterisks.

Allow Students to Send Kudos

When you select this, students will be able to send positive, encouraging messages pre-made in the program. Please do note that students cannot use their own messages - they are all pre-made and students can only send one per day. Learn more about Kudos here.

When you're finished, hit Update to finalize your settings.

Curriculum

From the Curriculum portion, you can set the ability to require 3 stars to move on (for coding and keyboarding curriculums) or require sequential lessons (for science and digital literacy curriculums). For the Mountain Adventure curriculum, you can also enable or disable mouse lessons.

Leaderboard

Underneath the Leaderboard section, you'll be able to view the leaderboard for your classroom of the top ranking students in the classroom by experience points. Here, you may decide whether or not students will see it too.
