As a DreamBox Math administrator, you may be able to move or copy students in to classrooms. How you do this depends on your dashboard editing permissions and your DreamBox Math educator dashboard configuration.
How Do You Open DreamBox Settings?
Administrators follow different steps to manually move students into classroom settings based on how their DreamBox Math educator dashboard is configured. The quickest way to determine which directions to follow is to open your Math educator dashboard and check if the Settings icon appears in the top navigation pane.
In the table below, find the image that matches your dashboard and click the link to jump to the correct instructions.

Difference 1: Select Unassigned Students from the Source roster.
In the Source roster filters:
