Once students are in your classroom, you can manage their accounts from the Students tab. This guide covers all the ways to view, edit, and manage your student roster.

Viewing Your Student List

Go to your classroom and click the Students tab to see all enrolled students. Your student list shows:
  • Student name and username
  • Profile avatar
  • Activity statistics (activities completed, time spent)
  • Google Classroom link status (if applicable)

Editing Student Information

To update a student’s details:
1

Open the Students Tab

Go to your classroom and click the Students tab.
2

Click the Edit Button

Find the student you want to edit and click the pencil icon next to their name.
3

Update Their Information

In the edit modal, you can change:
  • First name and Last name
  • Nickname
  • Username
  • Password (use the eye icon to show/hide)
  • Parent email
  • Avatar (choose from 25 profile images)
4

Save Changes

Click Save to update the student’s information.

Resetting a Student’s Password

If a student forgets their password:
1

Open the Edit Modal

Go to the Students tab and click the pencil icon next to the student’s name.
2

Click Reset Password

Click the Reset Password button in the edit modal.
3

Copy the New Password

A new password will be generated automatically. Copy it or write it down to share with the student.
4

Share with the Student

Give the student their new password. They can use it to sign in immediately.
For students who joined using Google Sign-In, password reset is not needed - they sign in with their Google account.

Printing Student Logins

For students you created manually, you can print their login credentials to send home or distribute in class.
1

Go to the Students Tab

Open your classroom and click the Students tab.
2

Click Print Logins

Click the Print Logins button at the top of the student list.
3

Print or Save

A print-friendly page opens showing each student’s:
  • Name
  • Student login URL
  • Username
  • Password
Use your browser’s print function to print or save as PDF.
Print logins are great for younger students who need help remembering their credentials. Consider cutting them into individual slips for each student.
Only students created by the teacher have printable passwords. Students who joined with a class code and created their own password will show “Set by student” instead.

Deleting a Student

To remove a student from your classroom:
1

Open the Edit Modal

Go to the Students tab and click the pencil icon next to the student’s name.
2

Click Delete Student

Scroll to the bottom of the edit modal and click Delete Student.
3

Confirm Deletion

A confirmation dialog will appear. Review the warning carefully - this action:
  • Removes the student from your classroom
  • Deletes all their assignment submissions
  • Deletes their scores and progress data
  • Cannot be undone
4

Confirm

Type the student’s name or click Delete to confirm.
Deleting a student permanently removes all their work and data. This cannot be undone. If you just want to remove a student from one classroom but keep their data, consider archiving instead.

Student Management Tips

  • Use consistent formats (e.g., first name + last initial: “sarahm”)
  • Avoid special characters that are hard to type
  • For younger students, keep usernames short and simple
  • Use the Print Logins feature to send credentials home
  • Consider simple, memorable passwords for K-2 students
  • Keep a secure backup of student passwords
Students linked to Google Classroom:
  • Sign in with their Google account
  • Don’t need a separate Workybooks password
  • Show a Google icon badge in your student list
For large classes:
  • Use CSV import to add many students at once
  • Use Google Classroom sync to keep rosters updated
  • Print all logins at once instead of individually

Troubleshooting

Check that:
  • The student is using the correct username (case-sensitive)
  • They’re going to the student app at students.workybooks.com
  • Their password hasn’t been changed
Try resetting their password if needed.
If a student joined the wrong classroom:
  1. Delete them from the incorrect classroom
  2. Give them the correct class code to rejoin
  3. Or add them manually to the correct classroom
You can only see passwords for students you created manually. Students who:
  • Joined with a class code and created their own password
  • Signed up with Google
Will show “Set by student” instead. Use the Reset Password button if they need a new password.
