Creating Your First Class

Creating a Class

Classes in ReportRocket organise your students by teaching group. Each class has a year level that determines which curriculum criteria are available.

The Classes Page at a Glance

When you open Classes, you'll see three summary tiles at the top:

• Total Students — count of all students across your classes
• Reports This Month — comments generated in the current month
• Pending Reviews — reports currently sitting with a reviewer

If you have reports finished and ready for peer review, a Reports Ready for Peer Review banner appears at the top of the page with a button that jumps you straight into creating a new Review Pack.

For school administrators: A Search by teacher filter appears next to the class list so you can quickly narrow down to one teacher's classes — useful when your school has many staff members. This filter only shows for admins.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Navigate to Classes

Click Classes in the sidebar or the "Add Class" button on your dashboard.

2. Click "Add Class"

You'll see a form asking for:

• Class name – e.g., "3B", "Year 2 Blue", "Foundation Koalas"
• Year level – Foundation through Year 6

3. Choose the Year Level Carefully

The year level determines:

• Which curriculum criteria appear when generating reports
• The language complexity of generated comments
• Available subject areas and content descriptors

Tip: If you teach a composite class (e.g., Year 1/2), create separate classes for each year level, or choose the year level that best matches your reporting requirements.

4. Save Your Class

Click "Create Class" and your new class appears in your list, ready for students.
