How can a parent promote their own students from one year to the next?
When enabled by an admin, parents will be given the opportunity to place their students into their assigned homerooms in the next school year.
When a parent logs in, they are taken to their own profile page. Here they will see their own information and their students.
Below the area listing their students, they will be asked if they would like to place their students into the homerooms of the new school year.
Clicking the Get Started button will display a window allowing the parent to select which homeroom each of their students will be in. They should see each of their students listed, along with an indication that they have not yet been placed into the homeroom they were assigned to, i.e. in the column listing the Classroom Assignments for the coming year, it says "None". 
Parents should use the drop down to select the homeroom their student is in. They should do this for each of their students that is returning to the school. If a student is listed that is not returning, they should not select any homeroom to assign them to.
After selecting the appropriate homeroom(s), the parent clicks the Promote button to place those students into their homerooms. The screen will update, showing the student's assignments.
If they have no further changes to make, they may click the Close button.
They can now change the year they are viewing to the new school year by clicking on the year at the top middle of the screen.
