GoGuardian Launches Merge Classrooms, Streamlining Classroom Management for Educators

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GoGuardian Teacher, the most loved classroom management tool used by 1.9 million educators, continues to evolve to meet the needs of today’s classrooms. GoGuardian’s safety and productivity products are used by nearly 50% of public and private K–12 students in the United States, giving the company an unmatched view into the challenges teachers face every day. With that scale comes deep insight: educators need simpler ways to manage digital teaching workflows so they can focus on what matters most—students. GoGuardian has delivered on that feedback with the launch of merge classrooms.

Merge classrooms is designed to simplify real-life teaching scenarios. Many educators teach honors and regular sections together, or combine grade levels during shared instruction. In these cases, rostering systems often generate multiple rosters for what is, in practice, a single class. Merge classrooms brings these rosters together into one unified session—saving time, reducing complexity, and giving teachers a complete view of every student without juggling tabs or running multiple sessions in parallel.

"Teachers have enough on their plates without technology adding complexity to their day," said Brian Larkin, Director of Product Management at GoGuardian. "Merge classrooms exemplifies our teacher-first approach to product development. We listened to educators who told us that rostering misalignment was creating real barriers to effective instruction and student engagement. This ensures teachers never miss those critical moments when a student needs redirection or support."

With merge classrooms, teachers can combine up to five classes, whether from Google Classroom, Clever, ClassLink, or manual setups, into one session supporting up to 115 students. Rosters automatically sync, and students remain organized by their original classes, giving educators flexibility without the hassle of multiple sessions. More than two out of three GoGuardian Teacher users rely on integrations, and over 50% run simultaneous sessions. Merge classrooms was built for these teachers, turning a complex task into a seamless experience and giving back critical instructional time during the busy back-to-school season.

Merge classrooms preserves all historical data from original classes while providing teachers complete control over merged classroom settings, including schedules, scenes, and reporting preferences.

Educators can access the merge classrooms feature immediately in their GoGuardian Teacher dashboard, with comprehensive support resources available through GoGuardian’s Help Center.
