When creating a roster, Classkick will create student accounts if they do not already exist.
If student accounts already exist, you can add those existing Portfolio students to your roster using one of the methods below.
There are several ways to add existing Portfolio students:
Add students from your school's student list (Pro Schools)
Have students join using a Class Code
Add an existing student manually
Sync your Google Classroom roster (Pro)
Choose the method that works best for your classroom setup.
1) Add Students from Your School's Student List (Pro Schools)
If you are part of a Pro School plan, your school may have already created student accounts for you.
In this case, you can select students from your school's list of student accounts and add them to your roster.
NOTE: You can only do this after your account has been verified by your admin.
1. Click Rosters & Co-Teachers.
2. Click the green + icon.
3. Click New Roster.
4. Click the Students tab.
5. Click + ADD STUDENTS.
6. Click Portfolio.
7. Select which students you wish to add.
8. Click Add Selected.
9. Lock the roster after all students have been added.
Locking the roster prevents students from accidentally joining your class as Basic students.
2) Students Add Themselves Using a Class Code
Students can also add themselves to your roster if they already have a Portfolio account.
To do this:
1. Students log in to their existing Classkick account.
2. Teacher shares the Class Code from any assignment from the roster.
3. Students enter the Class Code in the Class Code box.
Once students join, lock the roster to prevent additional Basic students from joining.
3) Add an Existing Student Manually
You can manually add an existing Portfolio student to your roster.
To do this:
1. Open the correct roster.
2. Click the Students tab.
3. Click +ADD STUDENTS.
4. Click Portfolio.
5. Click CREATE NEW PORTFOLIO STUDENTS.
6. Click Add Manually
7. Enter the student's information.
- NOTE: Since this is an existing student account, the password will not change. However, the text box must be filled in.
8. Click ADD STUDENT.
You will see a message indicating that the student account already exists in Classkick.
9. Click ADD STUDENT again.
10. Click CONTINUE.
A CSV file will download to show the student has been added to your organization.
NOTE: The student has NOT yet been added to your roster. This added your student to the subscription.
11. To add the student to your roster: click +ADD STUDENTS > Portfolio > the student name will now appear in the dropdown list.
12. Select the name and click ADD SELECTED.
4) Sync your Google Classroom roster
Teachers with Pro subscriptions can sync their Google Classroom roster directly with Classkick.
To sync your roster:
1. Click Rosters & Co-Teachers.
2. Click the green + icon.
3. Select Import from Google.
4. Log into your Google account.
5. Select the class you want to import.
Students from that Google Classroom will be added to your Classkick roster.
Once the roster is complete, lock the roster to prevent additional students from joining.
Important Notes for Google Classroom Rostering:
- Your Classkick email account and your Google Classroom email account MUST match in order for this to work.
- If students' Portfolio accounts were CREATED using this method, students will need to make sure to LOG IN WITH GOOGLE so that the Classkick account can be ACTIVATED. Otherwise, teachers will be unable to add these students to additional rosters.
If new students are added to your roster and need to be imported into Classkick, click on the double arrow all the way to the right of your roster. This will resync your roster to add / remove students.
