# Assign Primary Room to Student

How to assign or change a primary room for students

---

When a room is assigned to a student, that room will be their primary room. When a parent signs their child in, that child will automatically be placed into the primary (assigned) room. [Student Tags](/procare-online/docs/managing-tags-for-easy-filtering), such as age, grade and regular classroom, can be added for an additional layer of filtering.

#### For Extended/After Care Providers

We recommend assigning your aftercare room as the primary room for all students. This will make the sign in process easier for staff when [taking student attendance](/procare-online/docs/daily-sign-in-out-of-students-by-staff).
