Best Practices

  • Use consistent naming conventions when creating custom subjects.
  • Review existing subjects before adding new ones to avoid duplicates.
  • Disable unused subjects rather than deleting them when historical data may still exist.
  • Periodically review custom subjects to ensure they remain relevant and organized.

Common Examples

Organizations often create custom subjects for:

  • World Languages
  • Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs
  • State-specific course offerings
  • Specialized intervention or enrichment programs

Using the Class Subjects page helps ensure subject lists remain accurate, organized, and available for reporting, scheduling, and assessment workflows.
