Students are automatically added to Grade Level Rosters when they're added to LiveSchool. Grade Level Rosters cannot be edited from the Rosters screen, but you can change a student's grade by editing the student.

Click on New Roster, name your Roster, and then select "Add Students" in the top, left corner.  Select students and click on continue.
  1. Go to Setup, choose "Users, Rosters & Site" and then "Rosters", click “New Roster”, add a name, then create your Roster! Tip: You might want to add your last name to your Roster so it’s easier to identify (and so there aren't multiple "1st period" Rosters).

  2. Click “Add Students” in the top left, choose a Roster or Grade to pick your students from, then select the students you want to add to your Roster.

    If you're not seeing the Roster you need to select the student from, click here to learn how to edit the "Add Students" dropdown.

    You can select from multiple Rosters, and your students will remain selected.

    Click Add Students in the lower right corner, and you’ll see a notification letting you know the students have been added.

That’s it! Repeat these steps for any Rosters you want to create, and you’ll be able to access them on the Roster Picker!

Admin can access all Rosters by switching from My Rosters to All Rosters, and then share Rosters as needed.

Click on the teacher icon on the Roster you'd like to share.
  1. Access Your Setup: To get started, go to the "Setup" section.

  2. Select "Users, Rosters & Site" and then "Rosters

  3. Share Your Roster: Locate the Roster you want to share and click the "Share this Roster" icon (depicted as a teacher).

  4. Choose Recipients: Select the teachers or administrators you want to share the Roster with. There may be additional staff on the next page.

    Click on the circle to view an additional page of teachers.

  5. Save your selections: Click "Save," and the chosen teachers and administrators will not have access to the Roster!

Your newly shared Rosters will automatically appear in your "Rosters" list on the Roster Picker. ‍

Click on "Add to Roster"

From the Main Menu select Setup and then Students. Once you've found the student whose Rosters you'd like to manage, click the student name and scroll down until you see "Add to Roster" on the right.

Click on green circles.

When you've selected "Add to Roster", a list of all available Rosters will appear. Simply click to the green circle on the right to add a student to a Roster, or unclick the green check mark to remove a student from the Roster.

You can also scroll to the Assigned Rosters section and select "Unassign" to remove a student from a Roster.

Adding or removing students from a Roster updates the Roster for everyone that the Roster is shared with.

Click on the student icon to add or remove students.

  1. Go to Setup,

  2. Choose "Rosters"

You can rename R‍osters to easily know which class that Roster represents. There are two places in LiveSchool to rename your Rosters:
