Copying Classes from the Previous School Year

Updated

You can copy classes from the previous school year by following the steps below. You can only follow these steps if there are classes in the previous year to copy and you have not copied classes into this school year yet.

When you copy the classes, you are copying the marking periods assigned to them as well (with the dates updated to be within the current school year). Many class-level preference settings for all products (such as Accelerated Reader or Star Reading) are also copied so that you do not need to set the preferences again.

Preferences that will be copied for each class

Accelerated Reader

  • Class Student Quizzing preferences (TOPS Report Printing, Authorisation Password Required, Vocabulary Practice Include Definitions, Literacy Skills Retakes, Automatic Student Log Out, Vocabulary Practice Review Percentage, Vocabulary Practice Review Only Quiz Length and Vocabulary Practice Student Comprehension)
  • Quiz Set-Up Preference (quiz types each class is allowed to use)
  • Individual Student Settings (TWI settings, Recorded Voice availability, and Quizzing Allowed restrictions - including book level and interest level restrictions)

Accelerated Maths

  • Marking (automatically print next practice and enable or prevent marking of exercises and tests by students)
  • Page Layout (font size, answer placement and whether to list the objectives included on an assignment)
  • Practice (default practice size, duration of each size and whether objectives are automatically assigned when none are available for practice)
  • Printing (enable or prevent duplex printing, preview assignments before printing and embed fonts)
  • Renaissance Home Connect (allow or prevent marking of practices and exercises in Renaissance Home Connect)
  • TOPS Report (include/omit correct answer, summary and parent signature)

Star Early Literacy, Star Maths and Star Reading preference settings are not copied when you copy classes.
