Adding New Environment Profiles

Adding New Environment Profiles

Note: It is helpful for each group of children to have their own environment profile. For instance, if a classroom is a half-day classroom, users may find it helpful to denote this in the environment names: “Ladybug Class AM” and “Ladybug Class PM”. It may also be helpful to include the class year in the name (e.g. “Ladybug Class 2015-2016”).
