For staff who can edit enrollment.

Every child has a home room. They can also be in other classes, such as an enrichment or science class.

Add a class for one child

  1. Open Families > Children and open the child. On the newer screens, choose the Enrollment tab.

  2. On the Enrollment & placement card, choose Add a class. On the newer screens, it may be in the card’s ⋮ menu.

  3. Choose the Class, tick Which days, and pick when it Starts.

  4. Choose Add class. Choose Done.

The child keeps their home room and their other classes. If they have no home room yet, this class becomes it. No email or text goes to the family.

For most classes, the child’s plan and bills don’t change. If the class belongs to a program that bills every month, adding it also puts the child in that program, and that program bills them. You see the first bill before you save, and pick a session if there is more than one.

The recording uses one center’s example data. Names, amounts, dates, counts and configured policies are examples; use your own center’s records and settings. Some labels in the recording may differ from the written steps above.

Move a child to another class

  1. On the child’s record, find the class and choose Move to another class. On the newer screens, it is in that class’s ⋮ menu.

  2. Choose the New class, check Which days, and pick the day it Moves on.

  3. Choose Move class. Choose Done.

The old class ends the day before. Bills and plans don’t change, and no email or text goes to the family.

A class whose program bills every month can’t be moved this way. Choose Withdraw on it, then use Add a class.

Move to another class isn’t offered on a home room. To change a child’s home room, open the child and choose Edit details, then Room. You can also use Change homeroom on the room. For one day only, use Change room for the day in Attendance. On the newer screens, it is in the child’s ⋮ menu there.

Add several children to a class at once

  1. Open More > Rooms & spaces, then the Rooms tab, and open the class. On older screens this tab is called Classrooms.

  2. Choose Add children to this class. On the newer screens, it is in the ⋮ menu next to Edit room.

  3. Tick the children, or use Select all. Pick Which days and when it Starts.

  4. Choose Preview, then Add (the number) children. Choose Done.

This adds a class. It doesn’t change anyone’s home room, bills or plans, and no email or text goes to families.

The class size isn’t checked here, so check it yourself. Adding 8 or more children asks you to type words to confirm. Children with no home room yet aren’t listed. Add them one at a time from their own record.
