Please be aware that Apple Classroom functionality is still limited at this time. We are working with Apple support to address identified issues and are taking steps to improve overall stability going forward. We've made progress, but are still experiencing account issues that hinder the Apple Classroom experience.
Current limitations: Teachers may be unable to add some students in Apple Classroom until the issues are resolved. Joining Classrooms with a join code is no longer an option. Going forward students can be looked up by location and added from a list. Our technicians are currently working with Apple to create accurate rosters at each location. Manual class creation will continue to be an option for teachers going forward, it will just look a little different. We have an "escalated" ticket with Apple Education support and are fine-tuning our entire "native" Apple Environment. We hope to avoid future surprise issues with our Apple products and services going forward by working with Apple Engineers now to create an optimal Apple ecosystem that can keep up with our ever-changing technology demands.
Thanks for your patience while we diligently work toward a solution.

Over the past 6 weeks, Apple made several changes to the way classes are created in their latest updates to Apple Classroom and Apple School Manager. As a result, Apple Classroom works differently, and currently has some account/access issues. We've identified the issues and are taking appropriate steps with guidance from Apple engineers.
The recommended fix will take several technician hours to resolve, but rest assured, this is a high priority for our team.

What can I do for now? If you are trying to build a class and don't see a particular student, you may be able to locate them in the "Escondido Union School District" location for the time being.
