Adding Classes

Adding new classes is easy! How you do so depends on how you log into Prodigy. Select the appropriate drop-down below.

I use Google Classroom

4. Select Roster with Google Classroom:

5. A Google prompt will appear to confirm which account you are importing your class from and that you are allowing access to the information needed.

6. Once you have confirmed your account and allowed access, a list of the classes in your Google Classroom account will display. 

Check off the box for the class(es) that you would like to import, and click Continue:

7. Assign a grade to each class you have selected, or remove them if you had chosen a class in error. Then, click Import x Classroom(s).

That's it! Students from your Google Classroom are now ready to play Prodigy by logging in with their Google accounts, and you can keep track of their progress from your Teacher Account on Prodigy.

Changing a Class Name or Grade

If you made a mistake when creating your class, or if you use the same class year-over-year, you can change the name and grade level of your class from your All Classes page. Select the drop-down below.

Archiving or Deleting Classes

Archiving or deleting old classes are a great way to keep your dashboard up-to-date and easy-to-navigate. Archiving a class will leave your class roster and reports intact, but will hide the class from your active class menu. Deleting a class is permanent, and will remove the class, and all linked students, from your account. Please note that while deleting a class will remove the students from your account, it will not delete their accounts entirely. Select the drop-down below.
