How it works
Helps you find the group you need, see which groups you and your children already belong to, and open a group to enrol.
As a member or a visitor you see all of the school's groups, public and private. Groups that you or one of your children belong to come first, under My Groups. The rest are under Other Groups (or simply Groups if you don't belong to any yet).
If the school sorts its groups into categories, the other groups are arranged in folders, one per category, plus Uncategorised for groups without one. Folders open in place and several can be open at once. Which folders are open is kept in the page address, so the browser's Back button closes the last one you opened, and a link to the page opens it the same way.
Each group is a card. Press View Group to see the details and enrol.
Good to know
A private group is still listed, but joining it needs approval from an admin.
Groups are not created, edited or deleted from this tab. Staff allowed to manage groups see a Manage link that takes them to group management.

Members are enrolled into groups, so a school without groups can't take anyone in yet. Try again later or contact the school. Staff who manage groups also see a hint to create the first group and a Manage link.
