Start the Sandbox Experience

You are pretending to be principal Hannah Scott. Your 2nd grade teachers have just finished grading all of their students. You’re almost ready to create classes for next year’s 3rd grade.

Next Steps:

1. Turn the Compose Mode to On.
   
2. Click on the Current Year Digital Data Wall button.
   

You'll arrive at the Current Year Second Grade Digital Data Wall.

Add a Student

1. Switch Add, Move or Retain Students to On.
2. Click the down arrow in the orange Add Student header.

The student will appear in a grayed out Student Cell at the bottom of the class. Click on the Student Cell to open the Student Card.

Grade a Student

To learn the details of the Student Card and how to grade please visit our Student Card and Student Cell article.

Start Compose Process

Select the Compose button.

Our algorithm will automatically create an initial placement of students into equitable classes for next year's 3rd grade classes. From here you can drag and drop students to fine-tune student placement.

Start Over

We encourage to use the Start Over button. This will clear out the current composition of classes and reset the Sandbox back to the current year mode.

Compose Settings

After Start Over has been selected go to Home and select Compose Settings. In this example all the students who have been identified with a 504 plan will be placed into Class 1 with Amy Lopez directly when Compose is run again. Make sure to Save the Compose Setting you create.

After the Compose Setting is Saved follow the steps to run Compose again.
