Why are New Students Not Automatically Added to Existing Assignments?

To ensure a smooth transition for students entering your class midway through the year, it's important to note that their Assignment tab may not include activities assigned prior to their joining your class. When new students are added to a class with preexisting assignments, they will not automatically have access to those assignments. If you wish for the student to complete older assignments, we recommend directly sharing these assignments with them.

To add an individual student to an already assigned activity, follow these steps:

1. Locate the assignment on your Planner tab.
2. Click the 3-dot button in the assignment box.
3. Click "Edit Info".
4. In the "Assign to" section, click on the pencil icon.
5. Select the student you want to add to the assignment and click "Done".
6. Finally, click "Save" on the assignment settings box.

Now, the student has been successfully added to the assignment and will be able to access it from their Assignments tab. Please note that you will need to follow these steps for each assignment that you want to add them to.

This method can also be used to change which students or groups of students an assignment is assigned to. For more information on editing an assignment after it has been assigned, click here!
