Teachers no longer need to manually roster courses in Google Classroom. Classrooms will automatically be created based on the data in Skyward. Teachers will have the option to accept or decline Clever-created courses in Classroom. You can decide whether or not you want to use these classes. If you choose not to use them, you will need to create your own classes and invite students.
Students will be updated in these classrooms as changes to enrollment happen in Skyward. If a student is removed and you need access to grades, you can manually add the student back to your classroom and grades should be restored.
The names of classes in Skyward make it difficult to tell which classes are for which grading periods. You may change the names of classes and archive classes for later grading periods and making them active again when the new grading period begins.
