The challenge: Teachers spend too much time creating courses and setting up rostering

When Ysleta Independent School District hosted its annual summer Teacher Prep Week in 2020, 2,800 teachers were tasked with creating their own Google Classrooms and manually rostering students one by one. For a high school teacher with 9 classes, this could mean rostering 250+ students. It fell solely on Ysleta鈥檚 teachers to make changes to Google Classroom rosters throughout the school year as students changed classes or switched schools.


Erick Buenrostro, a member of Ysleta鈥檚 Innovative Learning department, knew teachers spent an entire instructional day or more on this. The responsibility was monumental, and district administrators had few ways to support teachers with this process.

The solution: 颁濒别惫别谤鈥檚 Google Classroom Rostering feature frees teachers from setup and ongoing maintenance

In 2021, 国产精品 equipped Ysleta with just the solution they needed鈥攁t no additional cost. With Google Workspace for Education Plus licenses for all students and teachers in place, Erick spent 5 minutes completing the setup wizard and scheduling the first sync.

颁濒别惫别谤鈥檚 now creates Ysleta鈥檚 Google Classroom courses, and automatically rosters them with 国产精品 section data. Each time a change is made in the SIS, 颁濒别惫别谤鈥檚 sync allows that data to transfer to Google Classroom rosters securely and in real time, without any ongoing manual efforts. IT administrators can pull class information, pull rosters, and transfer rosters to support their district鈥檚 educators as needed. Teachers can focus on instruction.

Students are automatically rostered and always informed of their course loads and instructors. They are already prepped before the first day. Teachers have rosters available to send Welcome Templates before the first day arrives, boosting campus culture and helping to build relationships with students.

This automation saved Ysleta teachers approximately 22,000+ combined instructional hours, which are refocused to student learning, classroom management, and lesson preparation.
