Group Accounts for Schools / Teachers ?

I volunteer as a chess coach at a public school in Georgia, USA. I usually work with grades 3-6, and teach the type of things you see in the LiChess 'Chess Basics' section.

I am looking for a way to create a group of accounts so each student in my class can login and use lichess for 1 school year/semester. The problem I have is asking children to create an account raises privacy issues that the school does not want to deal with.

Student IDs are important so I can see their individual progress on Chess Basics. And, to review games they play with other students. It would be fine if the group/student accounts were limited so that they can only play other students in the same group/class.

Any thoughts if this capability might be available?
Any quesitons about what I am looking to do?

thank you
I too run a Chess Club in a school (in Australia) & would love some improvement in this area. I want to be able to supervise accounts by my students - track study progress, run closed tournaments, analyse their games, group message them.
I'm still getting the reconnect at school.
Even with the reconnects, this learn link is usable: lichess.org/learn#/
But with the practice link, the engine does not play-out the moves.
It's probably because of the reconnects.

To reset the learn progress, it needs to be more visible. Like a button feature or in larger letters. The students need to be aware that they will need to reset the stars before starting their learn section.

If their was student accounts, I think the kid mode would need to be enabled and password controlled by the coach. The student group would need to be part of a team, so that they can see the student1, student 2, etc and be able to challenge one of them on the list for a game of chess.
