How to Add a Custom Name to a Class 

---

Overview

• Teachers often prefer to personalize class names in Penda to better match their teaching style, grade-level conventions, or internal naming systems. 
• Instead of using the default course name or code provided by the school or district, adding a custom class name can help keep classes organized and easily recognizable. For example, "Rivera, Earth Science - Period 2" or "Jones, Grade 6 - Block A."
• The custom name feature gives you the flexibility to name your classes in a way that makes the most sense for you.

How to Add a Custom Name to a Class

Step 1: Go to My Classes

• From your teacher dashboard, click on My Classes. 
• Click on the class you want to rename from the list.  

Step 2:  Open Class Settings

• In the class's responsive menu, click on Settings.

Step 3:  Enter the Custom Name

• In the Custom Name field, type the name you want to assign to the class.

Step 4: Save Your Changes

• Click Update to save the new class name.
• The custom name will now appear in your class list and in reports throughout Penda.
