In this article, we will cover:

As an educator, you have the ability to view and manage your class settings through the 'Settings' option in your class.

On the ‘Class settings’ page, you will see the following tabs:

Let’s explore each of these in detail:

In the Students tab, you can view a list of all students in your class, including their sign-in code, family invite code, count of associated family members, homeroom adviser, the number of portfolio posts they are tagged to, their personal details such as nationality, gender etc. and their unique ID.

You can filter this list to view all students, active students, blocked students or archived students.

If enabled by your school administrator, you can add or remove students from your class.

💡 Please note that you cannot add new students who are not yet a part of the school roster. You can only add students who are already enrolled in the school's roster. Similarly, when you remove a student from your class, they will be removed only from your class but will remain enrolled in the school's roster.

Start by clicking the 'Add students' button in the top right corner. You will see students from the current grade who aren't yet in your class by default, but you can use the 'Grade' filter to select students from other grades. Choose the students you want to add, then click 'Next’.

Next, you will see an option to add the selected student(s) to items from either your 'Class flow' or 'Assignments'. Let’s explore each one of these options one by one.

Selecting items from Class flow

Within the ‘Class flow’ tab, you can add the selected student to one or more items such as assignments, resources, links, or notes. You can also choose to add them to an entire section or sub-section, including all the items within it. Note that when selecting individual items from a sub-section, the sections above it are also included and visible to the student to provide a clearer understanding of the content hierarchy. To narrow down the items, use the 'Status' and 'Type' filters in the top-right corner. The 'Status' filter allows you to filter tasks based on whether they are in the draft or shared state, while the 'Type' filter lets you filter tasks based on their type—such as quick tasks, learning experiences, links, resources, etc.

💡 Please note that the visibility of the 'Class flow' or 'Assignments' tabs in this modal depends on whether these modules have been enabled by your school admin for teachers. Additionally, if you select a task that exists in both 'Assignments' and 'Class flow', selecting it in one tab will automatically select it in the other.

The image below highlights how the shared content appears on the student’s end. While only the selected items are shared with the student, the corresponding sections are automatically included to provide context and a clear structure.

Selecting tasks from Assignments

Just like in 'Class flow', you can add students to tasks that exist in the 'Assignments' section. You can once again use the 'Status' and 'Type' filters in the top-right corner to narrow down your options. Since 'Assignments' only handles tasks, the options in the filters are slightly different. The 'Status' filter allows you to view tasks based on their current stage, such as 'To review' or 'Reviewed', while the 'Type' filter helps you filter tasks by type—such as worksheets, learning experiences (LEs), etc.

💡Please note that if you select a task that exists in both 'Assignments' and 'Class flow'—you will notice that selecting it in one tab will automatically select it in the other.

Once you have made your selection, click 'Done' to proceed.

Accordingly, the selected student(s) gets added to your class, as well as to the assignments and content chosen by you.

If you need to add currently enrolled students to any existing assignments or content created for your class, click on the three-dot menu next to their names and choose the 'Add student to existing content' option. The process will follow the same steps outlined in the section above, except that only the content they haven’t been added to will appear under the ‘Class flow’ and ‘Assignments’ tabs.

Additionally, the 3-dot menu against each student has the following options:

You can use the gear icon highlighted below to customise the columns displayed on the table.

Upon clicking on it, a modal will pop up, listing out all the information available to you as an educator, and you can choose to add or rearrange the listed columns by dragging and rearranging them according to your preferences.

You can also download the list of students in your class using the download icon right above the table.

This tab allows you to view a list of your students' family members. Use the filter at the top to view them based on their invitation status.

Using the highlighted download button, you can download the following:

Additionally, depending on the family member's invitation status, the 3-dot menu against each family member has one or more of the following options:

For detailed instructions on how to invite family members to Toddle, please refer to this article.

Within the 'Staff members' tab, you will find a list of all teachers that are associated with your class, along with their unique ID and role.

If granted permission by your school administrator, you can add or remove teachers from your class from this tab. To add a teacher, simply click the 'Add staff' button located in the top-right corner.

You will see a list of all teachers added to your school roster. Pick the ones you want to add to your class and click on ‘Add.’ The selected teacher(s) will seamlessly get access to your class.

You can also remove teachers from your class using the highlighted icon under the ‘Actions’ column next to their name.

Use the ‘Primary subject teachers’ column to assign teachers as primary for the subjects linked to your class. The selected teacher’s name will then appear next to the corresponding subject in the progress report.

If your class is associated with multiple subjects, you’ll need to map the teacher to the appropriate subject(s). To do this, click on the pencil icon next to the teacher’s name in the ‘Primary subject teacher’ column.

In the modal that pops up, you will see a list of subjects your class is tagged to. Select the subject(s) you would like to map this teacher to. This ensures the teacher’s name appears by default for those subjects in the progress report. Once you’ve selected the relevant subjects, click on ‘Next.’

Within this modal, you can select additional teachers if you want to tag them to the same subject(s). The teacher whose name you clicked on using the pencil icon will be selected by default but you also have the option to deselect them if needed. Once you’ve made your selection, click on ‘Save.’

Once tagged, their names will automatically appear in the progress reports for the corresponding subjects. To update your selection later, simply select or deselect the teachers as needed.

Within this tab, you have the ability to view and edit permissions for various actions that your students can perform on the posts created in the class portfolio.

💡 Please note that you can edit these settings only if your school administrator has granted educators the ability to override portfolio settings configured from the admin portal.

Using this tab, you can claim the periods that you will be teaching this class and configure your class timetable. Read this article to know more.

The school admin controls the visibility of modules for teachers, students, and their families. In this section, you can review the module settings configured by the admin. If the admin has granted teachers permission to override these settings, you can customize module visibility for your class, adjusting access for students, families, and teachers as needed.

In the 'Class settings' section, you will find a header at the top with some useful features. Click on the thumbnail at the top left to edit your class thumbnail image. You can pick from the ones provided by Toddle or upload your own.

💡 Please be aware that while you can change class thumbnails via the class settings, you do not have the ability to rename classes from here. Renaming of classes can only be done by the school admins through the admin portal.

On the top right corner, you’ll find a download option for the following:

Under ‘Subject settings,’ you will be able to view the assessment categories and grade boundaries of subjects associated with this class. Additionally, if enabled by the admin, you can edit these for your subject and year level. To begin, enter your preferred class from the homepage and select ‘Subject settings’ from the left-hand menu.

If the class is associated with multiple subjects, the landing page will show the list of those subjects.

On clicking one of the subjects, you will see the following tabs:

Let’s explore these in detail:

Assessment categories are defined for a specific grading period, subject and grade level. When teachers create class tasks, they can tag them to specific assessment categories.

Within this tab, you can view existing assessment categories for each grading period for the subject and grade your current class is tagged to. If the feature is enabled by your school administrator, you can even create and edit these assessment categories. Grade boundaries can also be set for each category. Any changes you make to the assessment categories will apply to all classes of the current subject and grade you are in.

Additionally, you can apply the same assessment categories to other grading periods using the ‘Duplicate to other grading periods’ option.

💡Please note that the option of assigning weightage and defining grade boundary for each category depends on the chosen grade calculation method by your admin.

Any updates made to the categories by school administrators or by other teachers of the same subject will be reflected in this tab. The information on the last update is provided here as shown below, helping you to keep track of changes.

This tab displays the grade boundaries for your current subject and grade level for one or more grading periods. They are used to convert a student's overall score to an overall grade. You can view grade boundaries for each grading period and, with admin permission, make edits. Please note that if your school has chosen not to derive an overall grade based on the student's overall score, this tab will not be visible.

Similar to assessment categories, any updates made to the grade boundaries by school administrators or by other class teachers of the same subject and year level will be reflected in this tab. The information on the last update is provided here as shown below, helping you to keep track of changes.

A unified place to view and manage your class and subject settings streamlines your workflow, offering you more control in managing your teaching responsibilities.
