Homerooms are set for the students in PBIS Rewards through the groups. A student needs to be in a group. That group is set with the subject Homeroom/Advisory and then the owner of the group is assigned as the Homeroom teacher for all the students in that group. Students can only be in one homeroom group in PBIS Rewards. Only an Admin in PBIS Rewards will be able to set or edit homeroom information.

Syncing Groups Information

ClassLink:  If ClassLink created the groups that should be homerooms, you will need to add the subject. It will not show up with the sync. 

Clever:  If Clever created the homeroom groups, you may need to set the subject.

• It is possible for Clever to pass the subject as Homeroom/Advisory but that information is not always available in the synced data.
• If you edit the subject of a synced group, you may need to reset it occasionally like when the courses are recreated for the new semester.
• If you find that the subject of Homeroom/Advisory will not stay through the groups resyncing, please reach out to your District IT for assistance with syncing the homeroom section data from the SIS through Clever.
