Creating and managing classrooms

What is a classroom?

A classroom in FutureNerds represents a physical or logical group of children with assigned teachers. Each classroom has its own roster, attendance, lesson plans, and communication channel.

Creating a classroom

1. Go to the Classrooms tab on your school dashboard.
2. Click Create classroom.
3. Enter the classroom name (e.g., "Sunflower Room", "Primary A").
4. Assign one or more teachers.
5. Optionally set the age range and capacity.

Assigning teachers

Each classroom needs at least one teacher. Teachers can be assigned to multiple classrooms if needed. To change assignments:

1. Open the classroom from the Classrooms tab.
2. Click Manage teachers.
3. Add or remove teachers as needed.

Adding children to a classroom

Children are added to classrooms through the enrollment process:

1. A family applies and is approved.
2. From the child's enrollment record, click Assign to classroom.
3. Select the classroom. The child now appears on that classroom's roster.

You can also move children between classrooms at any time.

Archiving classrooms

At the end of a school year, you can archive classrooms you no longer need. Archived classrooms:

• No longer appear in the active list.
• Preserve all historical data (attendance, observations, messages).
• Can be restored if needed.

Tips

• Name classrooms clearly so parents and teachers can identify them easily.
• Review classroom assignments at the start of each term.
