Physical Education two same classes

Mitchell We

Hello,

I am trying to see how I can create two same grade level PE classes at the same time. This is for middle school.

Same teacher, same period

Any advice?

Right now, there is one PE but the whole grade level but the admin is looking into having the two same PE classes but divide the kids in half.

@Mitchell We - I would suggest creating another section for the class and split the students between sections as needed.

Yes thank you for that suggestion. I can do that but I think my main issue is I would have to manually assign the kids, is there a way that I can do this automatically? Can I use the course request? I would have to divide the kids by gender so they have equal balance.

@Mitchell We Via the course request entry page (Academics > Requests and schedules > Overview > Course requests > More actions > Enter requests) you may bulk assign requests by a student list. If you created a list for female and one for male, you could easily batch assign the request that way, but they would be requesting the same course if you use the second section option.

The other option is to use the new, nifty option available in courses and copy your current PE course and name the copy PE - Boys. Rename the original course PE - Girls. You can then specify the course gender on the scheduling tab of the course in the Course requests box. I have never done this method before (I am lazy and would just manually move students) but this setup might automatically request the proper course for the corresponding gender using the grade list.

Hope that helps.

Thank you for those options. We will see what the admin wants for PE next year.
