    Last Name* Enter the student's last name(s).
    External Assigned ID* If you use a SIS, you can enter the External ID associated with this student. It will display in the student's account but  will not display in reports within Imagine Learning products.

    District Administrators: You may select a school within your district; click the magnifying glass to access the list of schools. 
    Classes/Groups This is an optional field upon creating the student's account, but eventually you must assign students their classes/groups so that Teachers can view their data. 

    Students may be assigned to 1 or more groups. Click the magnifying glass to bring up a list of available classes/groups. If you haven't yet created the class/group, you can add the student to it later by editing the student's account after the class/group is made.
