Create Custom Student Groups

In SchoolMint Hero, users with the role privilege "Manage Custom Groups" can create Custom Groups of students. You may want to create Custom Groups if a group of students, like a specific grade-level or work study group, has a different bell schedule than the rest of the school. 

Tip: All students will be added to a default group called "Students" when your site is created. To move students to a Custom Student Group, you will need to remove them from the default group, then add them to a new Custom Student Group.

Creating a Custom Group

To create a Custom Student Group, select Student Groups in the navigation bar. 

Click on the + Add Student Group button in the upper right corner. 

Name the group and give the group an ID number (optional). Click Save. 

Adding Students to a Custom Student Group

To add students to a Custom Student Group, the students cannot be in another group. You can remove students from a group by selecting the 3 vertical dots on the right corner of a group tile and selecting Manage Group. 

Select Remove to remove a student from a group. Click Save after you are finished removing students. 

Once a student is no longer in a specific group, you can add them to your Custom Student Group. Click the 3 vertical dots on the Custom Group tile and select Manage Group. 

Click the + icon on the "# Students in this Student Group" widget. 

Any students that are not in another group will appear on the list. You can filter the list by first name, last name, or grade level. Click Add Student to add a student to the group. Click Save to save your progress when you are finished. 

You can also multi-select students by ticking the checkboxes to the left of the student names and then clicking the blue Add Selected Students button. Click Save.
