Groups and Group Types

Important: Only those features that you have been granted access to will display. Parents and student users who require assistance should contact their school or district.

If enabled by your district, you will see a    option in your menu. On this page you can:

·        see all the groups you’re a member of.

·        see only the name of the group teacher, not the other participants in the group.

·        join, leave and view groups you have the access code for.

·        view all of the groups you’re linked to automatically as a participant based on your account here.

Depending on what your district has enabled, there are two types of groups:

·         Automatic Groups: Groups you’re automatically joined with linked to your account.

·        Teacher-Created Groups:  Groups created by a teacher that you can join and leave using a unique access code they’ve provided to you.

On Mobile...

Automatic Groups

Automatic groups will have an address book  icon next to its name. Clicking the group will display the Group Teacher and the district connected to the group. Other than the Group Teacher, you won’t be able to see any of the other members of the group.

If you’re a member of an automatic group, you will not have the option to leave it. These groups are created at the district level and you will need to speak with your school if you’re a part of a group you shouldn’t be in.

Teacher-Created Groups

If enabled by their district, teachers can create conversation or discussion groups in which students, guardians and other school staff can participate. But before such participation can occur, participants must be invited and provided an access code to join the group.  

Participants can join as many groups as they are invited to participate in.
