Is there an automated way to graduate students from one directory to the next between school years with this method?

Make /home/grade1, /home/grade2 etc. under which make users of each grade. Now make groups grade1 grade2 ... and make teachers of each grade part of that group. Then directory permission with user:gradegroup should do the job. Trick is to set sticky bit so that the group ownership is automatically attached to all files created in subdirectories.
