Connect to Students from My Students Page

Problem to solve: Paraprofessionals and teaching assistants are often not linked to students in the SIS. This means that districts with rostering integrations (i.e. Clever, Classlink), will send us users who have no access to students. In order to use the skills platform, these users must have access to the students they work with.
Solution: Allow these users to create a list of students they work with. The user should be able to search for students, remove students, and reset their list. This list of students will be saved for the user. The experience must be simple and not overwhelm the user. It needs to be very intuitive and use simple language.
As a user, I want to easily find and save the students I regularly work with, so I can access them quickly during the day to record data and access their plans.
Jen’s ramble to figure this out:
I think this solution may actually solve a problem for all users. When they go to Students, they only see the students they are assigned to. This means they have to go back to account setup to assign themselves to more students. This is not intuitive. If a user goes to the students section, they should have a way to search for students to add to their caseload & classrooms. It should be just as easy to remove a student from their caseload/classrooms.
Add Student
Design
On the my students page, the user will see something asking them if they need to add another student to their list
The user will click to search for a student by name
The user will see a list of students matching the search. We will also show their grade, ID, and building.
When the user selects the student, this student will be assigned to the user.
The user will also be asked if they would like to add that student to one of their classrooms
If the user cannot find the student they need, they will have the option to create a new student

Remove Student
Design
Next to each student, the user will see an option to remove the student from their list
Clicking this, the user will see a message telling them the student will be unassigned from the user and the user’s classrooms.
If the user confirms, the student will be unassigned from the user and the classrooms.
Business Rules
Students assigned to a user via an integration cannot be unassigned from the user. There should be a symbol (lock?) signifying this.
Only users with permission to manage classrooms will see this.
Reset
Design
The user will see an option to reset their list
Clicking this will show a message stating this action will unassign all students from the user and the user’s classrooms
If the user confirms, all students will be unassigned from the user and the classrooms.
