Class (Optional)

Assign the student to a class or classes by entering the class name(s). You can place the student in an existing class or create a new class. Please note that classes in the class column will replace the student’s current classes, rather than adding to them.

• To place the student in an existing class, make sure the class name is spelled identically* to how it appears in the Classes list in myLexia, or a new class will be created.

• To create a new class, specify a class name. If all students in the class have the same grade, then the class grade will be created with that grade. If students have different grades, the new class will have a grade of Undefined.

• To include a student in more than one class, list each class, separated by commas**, in the student’s Class column.

• To add a student to an additional class rather than replace their current class(es), make sure to include both the student’s current class(es) and the new class in the import.

*Class names are not case-sensitive.

**Class names should be separated by a comma and with no space after the comma.
