If no matching student shows in the search list, he is probably a new student at your school. Click 'Create New Student'.
- Select a username that is accepted by our system as indicated when the green check mark shows.
- An email is required so that students can retrieve their passwords should they forget it. However, student emails are not kept in plain text in our system and are not retrievable. The green checkmark indicates that no other user in our system has the same encrypted email.
- Choose a password easy for you to remember to give to the student. The student will change the password when they login unless they login through the Google button.
The new student account will now be listed in your class list.
