Adding students to KidPace classrooms is easy. Before you add students, you must already have a classroom in KidPace 3. If you don't, please see the Step-by-Step guide titled Creating Classrooms.

1. Open your web browser and go to http://www.americanreadingonline.com.
2. In the lower left corner, login using your KidPace username and password.
3. You will now see a list of classrooms.
   
   
   1. Click on the name of the classroom to which you wish to add students.
   2. A small menu will appear underneath the classroom.
   3. Click the Students link.
4. The list of students in the classroom will appear.
5. Click the Manage Students link in the Tools section on the left side of the screen.
6. The Manage Students page will open, allowing you to add students to your class, edit students, or remove students from your class. This page is split into two columns.
   
   
   1. The left column shows all of the students in your school or district available to be added to your class.
   2. The right column shows all students already assigned to your class.
7. Finding students whose records are already present in KidPace
   If your school used KidPace in the past, or if your district has provided American Reading Company with a list of students to be imported, then it is likely that your students will already be available in KidPace. To search for them, use one of these methods:
   
   
   1. Search by the first letter of the student's last name.
      You can choose to search within your school, or within the entire district.
      
      
      1. Look at the left column.
      2. Click on the first letter of the last name of a student you wish to add. If you click on A, you will see Anderson, Applewood, Arnold, etc.
      3. Find your student, maybe her name is Cynthia Arnold, and click the Add button.
      4. The page will refresh, and you will see Cynthia Arnold on the right side of the screen. This means that she is now in your classroom.
      5. This is, generally, the fastest method available for finding your students.
   2. Search by typing the student's first and last name.
      Again, you can choose to search within your school, or within the entire district.
      
      
      1. Look at the left column.
      2. Enter all or part of a student's first and last name into the First Name and Last Name fields.
      3. Click the Search button.
      4. A list of possible matches will appear.
      5. Find your student, maybe her name is Cynthia Arnold, and click the Add button.
      6. The page will refresh, and you will see Cynthia Arnold on the right side of the screen. This means that she is now in your classroom.
      7. If your student did not appear in the list of possible matches, try searching the entire district. If the student still does not appear, then you may need to create a new record for this student.
8. Creating new student records.
   Sometimes, the student you wish to add to your classroom may not be available in KidPace. In this case, you will need to create a new student record for this student. To create a new studuent record, do the following:
   
   
   1. Look at the left column.
   2. Click the New Student link.
   3. The Edit Student page will appear.
   4. Fill out all applicable information for your student.
   5. When you're finished, click the Save Student button.
   6. When the page refreshes, you will see that your new student is in your class list.
9. When your finished adding students to your class list, click the Done button at the top of the screen.
