Using a group type of Immediate, it is possible to summon students to the office, or any other defined location, prior to the start of normal dismissal for the purpose of distributing special items or information.

Some initial set up is required, but this only needs to be done one time.

Any location to which students will need to be directed prior to normal dismissal needs to be defined. Follow these steps:

1. Groups / Location
2. New
3. Set
   1. Location Name: <example: Office>
   2. Text Color: <desired text color>
4. Save

A group of type Immediate is required to assign students. Follow these steps:

1. Group / New
2. Set
   1. Group Type: Immediate
   2. Group Name: <example: Special>
   3. Text Color: <desired text color, should likely match location text color above>
   4. Location: <select the location defined above>
   5. Automatic Post: optionally set up the immediate group to post at the same time each day of the week. For example, if regular dismissal occurs at 3:15 PM, you may wish to set this value to 3:08 PM for each week day. See cautionary notes at the end of this page
3. Save

All students from previous days must be removed from the group prior to adding students for the current day.

1. Groups / Immediate
2. Click on the Group Name, e.g., Special
3. Set the Check Box for “Permanently Remove ALL Students from this group”
4. Type YES in the confirmation field
5. Save

1. If not already open from above, follow steps 1 and 2 in the instructions for removing students to open up the group edit page
2. Locate the students to be added for the current day in the Assign Students section of the page
3. Click on the rightmost check box - the “A” value in the “O / W / A” choices to assign the student to the group for every day. Using this option is the simplest method to ensure the children are assigned for the current day

This step must be performed by a dismissal account user.
