Before your students can begin checking out books from Booksource Classroom, you must add each student to your account.  There are two ways to add students to your account. 


Import from Excel:   

To import your student list from Excel, click on  the Students menu in the navigation bar. Once on the Students page, click Import. This will bring you to the Import Students from Excel page.  First, download our template by selecting Download Excel Template.  Enter your student profile information into the Excel spreadsheet.  Once your student profile information has been entered into the Excel document, save the file to your computer as a Microsoft Excel 97-2003 document (.xls).

 

Go back into the Students page and select the Import button. From here you can follow the instructions listed on the ‘Import Students from Excel page to finalize your Student Profile Upload.  




The students' first name and last initial will be used as their username.  The username will display in list form after the student has signed in with your classroom ID and password. The student will choose Students and then see the list of student usernames. Once their name has been selected, the student will either be taken to a Checkout & Read or Return option OR will be presented with entering a unique password.



Manual Entry:

If you choose to manually enter your student information, navigate to the Students menu in your Teacher Page and choose Add. Fill out the appropriate information and select Create to add the student.
