SchoolCity allows users at all levels to create groups of courses for various purposes. District and School Level Users may also share their Course Groups with other users. Course Groups created by Teacher Level Users are always private and cannot be shared.
Key Words: Group, Group Manager, Share Group
Where to Start
From the SchoolCity SUITE Launchpad, click on the Lines icon on the far right of the Top Menu Bar (1), then select Groups (2).
- Group Year: Select the school year in which the Course Group was created.
- Select the Course Group tab.
- Course Groups you have created will be listed with an open box, the Group Number, Course Group Name, Number of Courses in the group, Created By, Date Created, and Date Edited.
- Course Groups may be created and kept Private (only the creator can view), Semi-Private (only selected users can view), or Public (all users can view).
Teacher Users, when a School or District User shares a group semi-privately or publicly with you, it will appear on your list without an open box next to the Course Group name, and with only a View (eye) icon. You cannot make any edits to this Course Group.

District Wide allows users to share with the entire district, selected Schools, Grades, or Users. Within School allows users to share with the entire school, selected Grades or Users.
