About Class Groups
Important: From Mar 2025 Update, owners and co-teachers of class groups can restore past class groups as active class groups here.
There are two types of Class Groups in SLS:
Class Groups (Class) are created using subject class and teaching group information imported from School Cockpit. Class Groups are assigned a specific colour based on the subject type e.g. green for Sciences, orange for Mathematics.
Note: If you are unable to see the Class Groups, please check with your School Cockpit administrator if you have been assigned classes/teaching groups in School Cockpit. It will take 3 to 5 days for the classes/teaching groups in School Cockpit to be reflected in SLS.
Class Groups (Group) are created by Teachers in SLS. Students and Teachers can be added to the Group. To find out more about the types of users that can be added, please see Create Class Groups and Communities.
There are 3 Class Group (Group) subtypes:
Student (Students and Teachers can be added)
Professional Development (only Teachers can be added as Students)
Staff (No Students can be added, only Teachers)
