How to promote a student(s) (add the student(s) to another class)

When a student is promoted to a class, the student simply gets added to the new class. The student is still listed on the original class roster and the attendance records are still available. The student is also now listed on the new class roster.   

• This feature is used to promote students to the next grade.
• It is also used to copy students from one class to another such as copying the 8th grade Sunday School class to Confirmation Prep.
