Classroom as a Student/Parent
When Classroom is enabled at the district level, students and parents see the new classroom tab when they click on a section name anywhere in Campus Student and Campus Parent, instead of the previous Course Info tab. The main difference in comparison to Course Info is the summary of current and upcoming curriculum displayed. Only curriculum designated to display in Campus Student/Parent displays in this view.

Classroom as a Teacher
When Classroom is enabled at the district level, individual teachers have the option to enable it for their own accounts via a toggle in the Teaching Center (formerly Control Center).
With Classroom enabled, section names in the Teaching Center become links to open Classroom in the context of that section.
Once enabled, Classroom adjusts the navigation paradigm of Instruction from the traditional tool-based organization to a section-based one, making it easier for teachers to access tools in the context of the section they're teaching.
Enabling Classroom also adds columns to the navigation menu for Classroom and Curriculum.
