Do not click the Create button after adding the student's information unless you have already enrolled the student in a class. To create a student, they need to be enrolled in a class (see Step 2 below).

 

Step 2: Enrolling the Student in a Class

To enroll the student in a class or a group:

  • Click the Enrollment tab and then click Enroll / Unenroll in a Class.

Depending on the Reading Plus settings for your school or district, students may be enrolled in one class only. If this is true for your school or district you will see a banner at the top of the window (see the above image). 

 

  • The window updates, moving the class to the Assigned Class section. If this is the correct class, click OK. If not, click Clear All or the X next to the class name and select a different class.
