Adding Aides, Students, and Teachers To Religious Ed Groups (Step 4)

This article will explain how to add Aides, Students and Teachers to your Religious Education Groups. This can be done from within the Member Record or Group Maintenance. When adding large amounts of aides, students, and/or teachers, it's quickest to add them via Group Maintenance as this avoids the need to search for each individual member.

If you are using the Online Registration Form, students will automatically be added to the group. If there are students who do not register using Online Registration, you can manually add them to the group using the following instructions.

Adding from within Member Record

Click on Families via the top navigation bar and select Member Explorer.

Once you locate the Member's Record click on the Group tab, then click the New Group link in the bottom left of the screen

Tip: To open the family record, open the family icon located to the left of the Member Information tab.

In the pop up, click on the drop down arrow in the Group Field to see a list of all your groups. Choose the correct group for Religious Education Aides, Students, or Teachers. For Aides and Teachers this is the only field you will have to fill in.

Click Save once you are done. If you are entering Religious Education Students proceed to the next step.

If you are entering Religious Education Students you must select the student's grade level from the (Position) field. Once you have added all your students to the Religious Education Group and have assigned them to the correct level you are now ready to create all your classes.

Note: The levels that appear in the Level column within Level Maintenance, are reflected in the (Position) dropdown when adding students to their group.

Adding Through Group Maintenance

Click on Groups via the top navigation bar and select Group Maintenance

Select the group where you wish to add or edit members by clicking on the group name.

The following screen will appear when you open Group Maintenance. This screen is very helpful when adding a number of members to group.

Note: If you are adding students from another parish within your cluster/collaborative, please refer to the following article: Multi-Parish Religious Education. You will want to select Multi-Parish prior to adding a teacher, aide, or student from another church (see screenshot below). Clicking this box enables you to add teachers, aides, and students from another church. After adding all your teachers, aides, and students to the proper groups, you are ready to create your classes.
