Managing Class Folders Year After Year

🗂 Managing Class Folders (Version 2)

Managing class folders is now easier than ever in Spellings for Me Version 2. All folder management happens under the Administration > Classes section — there’s no need to visit the "Users" section anymore.


👥 What Are Class Folders?

Each folder represents a class group in your school.

Students inside a folder are visible to any teacher assigned to that folder.

Students and teachers can be in multiple folders (e.g. support teachers, mixed teaching setups).


1️⃣ Annual Rollover: Class Group Staying the Same

If the group of students is moving up together (e.g. 3rd class becomes 4th class):

Step-by-Step:

Log into app.spellingsforme.com

Go to Administration > Classes

Click on the old class folder (it will highlight in blue)

Right-click and choose Edit

Rename the folder to reflect the new year and teacher (e.g. change 3rd Class Ms Moore 2024/25 to 4th Class Ms French 2025/26)

Click Save


👩‍🏫 Updating the Teacher for the Class

With the class folder still selected, look to the right-hand side

Click the “Teacher” tab (beside the Student tab)

Remove the previous teacher (e.g. Ms Moore)

Add the new teacher (e.g. Ms French)

Click Save

That’s it — the new teacher will now see this class in their dashboard.


2️⃣ When Classes Have Been Reshuffled

If last year’s classes have been mixed and reassigned to new groups:

Step-by-Step:

Go to Administration > Classes

Right-click and delete the old class folders that no longer reflect the new groupings

Click the blue “Add Class” button to create new folders for the current year (e.g. 4th Class A 2025/26)

Select each new folder and click Add Member on the right

Search for and tick the students you want to add

Go to the Teacher tab and assign the correct teacher(s)

Click Save

🔍 Tip: Search by first name, surname, or username (e.g. johsmi33 for John Smith). Do not search full names.


🔄 Flexibility Built In

Students can belong to multiple folders, including support teaching groups

Teachers can be added to multiple folders for team teaching, SET roles, or composite classes


🧠 Key Takeaways

Do all folder management under Administration > Classes

Rename or delete folders based on whether classes have rolled over or reshuffled

Students and teachers can appear in more than one folder
