General class information

The Manage classes section allows admin users to view and edit classes. From this section admin users can:

  • Check teachers and students are linked to classes

  • Quickly access the Gradebook and Student list for a class

  • Create, edit and delete classes

Creating and deleting classes

If your school is importing staff, student and class data into Satchel One manually, then an admin user can create new classes from the Manage classes section. Click Create new class, then in the side panel, add the class name, teacher, and students. To delete a class, click the dustbin icon.

⚠️Please note: you can only delete classes which have not had homework set to them.

If Satchel One is automatically syncing with your school's MIS, then admin users cannot create classes from the Manage classes section. This is because MIS-managed schools have their classes created / updated automatically when the sync occurs. Likewise, classes created via the MIS sync cannot not be deleted from Satchel One and will remain for the duration of the academic year.

Teachers, however, can create new classes manually. If you are an MIS-managed school, then manual classes created by teachers will exist outside of your regular MIS sync. To create a manual class, teachers can go to My Classes and click 'Create new class'. Once the manual class has been created, an admin user can edit or delete the class from the Manage classes section.

Editing classes

To edit a manually created class, an admin user can click on the pencil icon. To add a teacher to the class, click on the Teacher field and locate the relevant teacher using the drop down menu. To remove a teacher, simply click the dustbin beside their name.

To add a student to the class, click on 'Select from existing students' and search for the relevant student's name. The dropdown allows you to search for any student in the school. This means you can create a bespoke class containing students drawn from different classes or year groups. To remove a student from your class, simply click the X next to their name.​ 

Top tip: Remember to click Save changes before navigating away from the menu or your work will be lost. If you make a change in error, click Cancel to leave the menu.
