Groups - Managing Student Groups

Overview:

Student groups in Synergy track student participation and eligibility in athletics or clubs. It is also a tool that is utilized for rostering students for various purposes (TVUE Special Ed Rosters (SSS Roster), Clever, Advisors, Printing Reports, etc.). Groups can also be used to track a student’s attendance, discipline and grades. Groups are managed at the district level and schools choose which groups to use at their site. There are several Clever and Generic Groups that can be utilized for rostering or any purpose deemed necessary.

Fees can be assigned to groups prior to students being added this will allow the fee to be applied to the students added to the group.

NOTE: SE GROUPS for CASE MANAGERS: Please use the groups labeled: Roster01‐15: SSS Roster.
