Tutor groups are in Year Groups in the left menu. Tutors assigned on the group's Members page take homeroom attendance, and the group's Discussions page sends messages to students and parents. To post to a smaller set of advisees, create a group from Groups.
For tutors, advisory teachers and admins: use tutor groups for registration and messages, and set up a group for your own advisees.
Tutor groups and mentor groups are year groups, so you find them under Year Groups in the left menu.
Assign tutors to a tutor group
Select Year Groups in the left menu and open the tutor group.
-
Go to Members > Homeroom Advisor.
The Members page of a year group. Assign the tutors. They can then take homeroom attendance for the group.
Tutors stay assigned when the year group moves up. Check the tutors for each group at the start of every year.
Message the tutor group
Open the tutor group and use its Discussions page to send messages to students and parents. Each class also has its own Discussions page for subject messages.
Post to just your advisees
Select Groups in the left menu.
Create a group for your advisees.
Use the group to post messages and set activities for those students.
The steps for creating a group are the same as for CAS project groups, and groups can be used across the school.
