Import Class Rosters from Google Classroom

Overview

Teachers can import their Google Classroom classes directly into LanSchool Air.

Teachers must connect and sync their own Google Account with LanSchool Air. LanSchool Air Site Administrators do not perform the Google Classroom sync for teachers.

Important: Signing in to LanSchool Air with Google does NOT automatically import or sync your Google Classroom classes.

Even if you use Sign in with Google to access LanSchool Air, you must separately select Sync Google Account to import your Google Classroom classes.

After the initial sync, changes made to your Google Classroom rosters are automatically synced with LanSchool Air every night. Teachers can also manually re-sync their Google Account at any time to refresh their class rosters.

Important: Classes imported from Google Classroom currently support Chromebook students only.

Refer to the video below for a brief demonstration of how to import Google Classroom classes into LanSchool Air:

Before You Start

Make sure:

You are signed in to LanSchool Air as a teacher.
You have access to the Google Account used for your Google Classroom classes.
Your Google Classroom classes have the students you want to monitor.
Your browser allows pop-ups so that you can complete the Google Account sign-in and authorization.

Sync Your Google Classroom Classes

Log in to your LanSchool Air teacher account.
Select the Menu icon in the top left corner.
Select Sync Google Account from the menu.
A pop-up window opens and prompts you to sign in to your Google Account.
Note: If the Google sign-in window does not appear, make sure your browser's pop-up blocker is disabled.
When prompted, select Allow to give LanSchool Air permission to access your Google Classroom classes.
LanSchool Air imports your Google Classroom classes and notifies you when the sync is complete.
Your imported classes will then appear in LanSchool Air.

How Google Classroom Sync Works

Teachers connect their own Google Account and perform the initial sync.
LanSchool Air automatically syncs changes to your Google Classroom rosters every night.
Teachers can manually re-sync their Google Account at any time to refresh their classes.
Google Classroom classes imported into LanSchool Air support Chromebook students only.
If your organization uses another roster provider, Google Classroom syncing may not be available.

Google Classroom Class Size Limit

The import will fail if any Google Classroom class contains more than 100 students.

Troubleshooting Google Classroom Sync

I don't see the "Sync Google Account" option

Your organization may have another roster source enabled, such as Clever, ClassLink, or CSV. When another roster import source is enabled, Google Classroom syncing will be unavailable.

Contact your LanSchool Air Site Administrator or local IT administrator to confirm which roster source your organization uses.

The Google sign-in window does not appear

Make sure your browser's pop-up blocker is disabled, then try selecting Sync Google Account again.

I receive an error or error code when syncing

If you receive an error message or error code while syncing Google Classroom:

Clear your browser's cache and cookies.
Sign back in to LanSchool Air.
Select Sync Google Account and try the Google Classroom sync again.
If the sync still does not work, do not continue attempting to re-sync your Google Account. Contact LanSchool Air Support for assistance.

When contacting Support, include:

The error message or error code
A screenshot of the error, if possible
The steps you took before the error appeared

Can my LanSchool Air Site Administrator sync my Google Classroom classes for me?

No. The teacher must sign in to LanSchool Air and connect their own Google Account to sync their Google Classroom classes.

Site Administrators can manage the organization's roster configuration, but they do not perform the individual teacher's Google Classroom sync.

My Google Classroom classes are not appearing in LanSchool Air

First, confirm that you completed the Sync Google Account process while signed in to your teacher account.

If the sync completed but your classes are still missing:

Confirm that the classes are available in Google Classroom.
Try selecting Unsync Google Account.
Select Sync Google Account.
If you still cannot see your classes or receive an error or error code, contact LanSchool Air Support.

Unsyncing from Google Classroom

Warning:Unsyncing your Google Account removes all classes that were imported from Google Classroom from LanSchool Air.

Log into LanSchool Air.
Select the Menu icon.
Select Unsync Google Account.

Select CONFIRM to complete the unsync.

Your Google Classroom-imported classes will be removed from LanSchool Air.
