Students can only access the lessons for classes they've been added to so make sure you get them set up with their classes! Here's how:

1. From your Classes page click on the class you'd like to add students to.


2. Click on the Students tab below the class name. 



3. Click on the Add students button on the right hand side of the screen (If you're on a mobile, it's the large round blue '+' button in the top right).

4. To add students start typing their name or email to search and select the correct student(s) from the list below the search field.

5. If the students you'd like to add don't appear when you search for them, they may not have been invited to your account yet. If you're an admin on your account (or the owner of a free account), you can invite new students by typing their email addresses in the field below the list. Teachers who need to invite new students should contact their admin. Additionally, if students have difficulty finding their invitation, remind them to check their email's spam or junk folders. Email providers sometimes mistakenly filter these invitations, and ensuring they accept the invitation is necessary for them to appear in your class list.

6. Once you’ve selected all the students you’d like to join your class, click the Add students button to finish!

If you’d like to add many at once you can use the bulk add students function instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can’t I find a student to add to my class? If a student doesn’t appear in search, they likely haven’t been invited to join your school’s Atomi account. Ensure an account administrator sends an invitation, and remind the student to check their spam or junk folders.

What should I do if a student was previously in my class but is now missing? Simply send the student a new class invitation via email. After they accept, they will rejoin your class and appear in your list.

Why is the invitation email not appearing in the student’s inbox? Depending on the email provider, the invitation may be filtered as spam or junk. Advise the student to search for the email in those folders.

Troubleshooting Missing Students

If a student has previously been part of your class but is no longer visible, or if you are unable to locate them during the addition process, follow these steps:

  1. Reinvite the Student

    • Send the student a new email invitation for your class. This ensures they receive another opportunity to join using their email.

  2. Confirm Invitation Acceptance

    • Once the student accepts the email invitation, they will reappear in your class list or in the search results.
