  2. Select the Create Class button.

Teachers who have at least one class in myLexia:

  1. If you already have a class assigned to you, you will see your Class Overview. Select the Manage tab.

  3. Select the Create Class button.

In the Create Class window, name the class, and select a grade from the drop-down menu (required).

If you have students in more than one grade level, choose a grade level of “Other”.

Step 3: Add Students

  1. Select Add Students.

  2. Use the Name search box and/ or the Grade filter to locate students. If you do not see a student in the list, try filtering by Grade > All.

    If the student is currently assigned to the wrong grade, you can edit their grade level in Manage > Students after you add them to your class.

  3. Check the boxes next to the names of students you would like to add to the class.

  4. Select Add to Class.

The student name and Grade fields are highlighted next to a text box that says "Use the Name search box and/or Grade filter to locate students. Two students have been checked off in the list next to a text box that says "select student(s). The add to class button is highlighted next to a text box that says "select add to class."

If you don’t see all of your students in the list even after filtering by Grade > All, you can create new student accounts after you finish creating the class.

Step 4: Add Staff

If you are a teacher, and you created your class under Reading, you will automatically be assigned to the class.

To add additional staff members to the class, select the Add Staff button.

Step 5: Save Your New Class

When you are finished editing the class, select the Save button.

If the Save button is dimmed, make sure you have defined a class name and a grade.

Step 6 (Optional): Create New Students and Add Them to Your Class

To create new student accounts and add them to your class, add them from your Class Overview after you create the class.
