Creating a new Sunday School Class on LCR

I'm trying to add a new sunday school class. I would assume there would be an "add class" option under "options" on the Sunday School screen, but it's not there. It allows me to split a class, but I don't want to split an existing class. What am I missing?

I would consult the Handbook on what you're trying to do. I don't think you're allowed to create a whole new class will all new curriculum. But you could split an existing class by size, language, for singles, etc.

Temple Prep is to be held "outside of Sunday meetings" and I don't think there's a Family History Sunday School class anymore.

Thanks - just to be clear, by adding a class I don't mean making up a new curriculum . We have some classes that are too big and I want to redistribute the kids. I could use 'split class', and then rename both classes them and then move the students around - but it would be much easier to just be able to create a new class and then load the right students into it.

I'm not sure how "new" is less work than "split". However, it appears you don't have a choice.

That's exactly what split class is used for. You take a class that is too big and split it, redistributing the class members into the (now) two classes.

Thanks all!

Can someone tell me how to assign youth to a Sunday school class AND how to eliminate a class assignment? We have a missionary out that is still showing assigned to a 16 year old class!

Sunday School classes are, by default, set up and youth assigned by age. When the age criterion for a class is active then the youth will be moved automatically by the system on 1 January the youth will turn the age during the year for that class. But when a youth is assigned manually the age criterion is deactivated for that youth. The youth must now be manually moved to another class when appropriate. This is done by going to the class the youth is assigned, selecting the 'Members' tab, checking the box next to the youth name, clicking the 'Move to' button at the top of the class list, and selecting the new class from the list available.

I suspect the missionary still in the Course 16 class was manually moved to that class. He/She can be manually moved to, say, the Gospel Doctrine class by selecting LCR > Organizations > Sunday School > Course 16, select 'Members' tab, check the box next to their name, click the 'Move to' button at the top of the class list in the 'Members' tab, and select 'Gospel Doctrine' from the list.

Isn't there a way to reset a member to "automatic". (Not that it makes much of a difference now that they're an adult.)

As for the classes, you can split an existing one, but I don't think you can create one from scratch.

Thank you for the quick and detailed reply!

Some time in the distant past individual class criteria could be reset, but not now, as far as I can tell. The only reset option I can find is to reset the entirety of the organization Sunday School (Reset Classes to Default). The only individual operation is to move. The only group (class) manipulations are to combine classes, uncombine a combined class, or split a class. I would hope that when a youth was moved out of their age appropriate class and then moved into their age appropriate class later that the age criterion would reset to active. There is no way I can test this without having to wait at least a month or longer to see what happens. I don't want to test this and foul up something, or everything, for the Sunday School presidency, et al.

I believe if you assign them into the correct class for them, that resets them to automatically move in the future.

For anyone looking for the button to split it,

1. Under "Callings" select "Sunday School"
2. Select the class
3. Click the edit pencil next to the class's name
4. Choose "Split class", then hit the "Split" button
