Creating a Class Roster (and Why We Only Need a Name)
How class rosters work, and why they only ever need a first name and last initial.
Where to find this: Your Teacher Profile → Class Roster.
A class roster lets a parent claim their child's seat, without you ever needing their full legal name.
- From your teacher profile, open Class Roster.
- Click Add Student.
- Enter a first name and a last name or last initial — that's all that's needed.
- Save. The entry appears on your roster, unclaimed.

How claiming works
An unclaimed entry is never shown to anyone as belonging to a specific family. A parent must explicitly claim their child's entry from their own account — never automatically matched by name alone.
