Should I have all my students under one group or multiple groups? Can I make my groups match my class periods? Should I have a class for each grade level I teach? How can I group students for reports? If you have any of these questions, continue reading as this article will cover Summit K12 recommendations.
The ability to set up Summit K12 courses based on these recommendations is also dependent on your district’s chosen setup method. If unsure, contact us or your district administrator or IT department.
Departmentalized Classes
Pull-out/Tutoring Groups
Isolated Classes
Departmentalized Classes
Scenario
I teach two (or more) groups of students or subjects.
Recommended Class Set-Up
If students are in the same grade level, add groups (or class periods) and enroll students in their respective groups.
If students are in different grade levels or subjects, make sure to enroll students under their correct grade level/subject. If you need to add groups (or class periods), make sure to do it under the class with their correct grade level/subject*.
*If you don’t see a class with the grade level or subject you need, contact support@summitk12.com and include the grade level(s) or subject(s) needed in your request.
How Will My Class Reports Look?
Reports are organized by class and group/period.
For example, if you have two class groups/periods, you will be able to access two individual class reports containing the data of the students enrolled in each group or period.
💡Tip: Rename classes to easily find and keep track of each group's progress.
Pull-out/Tutoring Groups
Scenario
I work with small groups of students for support (pull-out, tutoring) sessions.
Recommended Class Set-Up
If students are in the same grade level, add groups (or class periods) and enroll students in their respective groups.
If students are in different grade levels or subjects, make sure to enroll students under their correct grade level/subject. If you need to add groups (or class periods), make sure to do it under the class with their correct grade level/subject*.
*If you don’t see a class with the grade level or subject you need, contact support@summitk12.com and include the grade level(s) or subject(s) needed in your request.

Isolated Classes
Scenario
I teach one group of students.
Recommended Class Set-Up
If students are in the same grade level, enroll students in their class with their grade level.
If students are in different grade levels, make sure to enroll students under their correct grade level. If you need to add groups (or class periods), make sure to do it under the class with their correct grade level*.
*If you don’t see a class with the grade level or subject you need, contact support@summitk12.com and include the grade level(s) or subject(s) needed in your request.
How Will My Class Reports Look?
Reports are organized by class and group/period.
For example, if you have one class groups/period, you will be able to access one class report containing the data of the students enrolled in that group/period.
💡Tip: Rename classes to match your school mascot or classroom theme.
