You can award Points to a House without the Points going to a particular student, by creating "students" with your House names and placing these "students" in the appropriate House roster.

You can also create custom behaviors on your Behavior Rubric specifically for awarding points to Houses, for example, a Point for a House vs. House "Tug-of-War," and make these points worth 100, 200, 300 points!

You first need to create the House as a student, then add that "student" to the appropriate House roster. Learn how below!

If your school is syncing with Clever or ClassLink, our team can add "House Students" for you. Reach out to us at support@liveschoolinc.com.

Add a New Student and name it after the House.

To add a "House Student" first go to Setup > Students and click on "+New Student".

  1. Add a first and last name. We suggest the "first name" be 1. House and the last name be the House itself. This will keep the "House Student" at the top of the list.

  2. For the Grade, choose a grade that is not a grade level in your building. This will help keep the data separate.

  3. Click on "Create Student" and then click on "Add to House" and choose the House that this student was named after.

  4. Repeat these steps for all Houses.

You'll then have a student button for the Houses in their House Rosters, but you can always search for the House too, just like you do for students!
