A few handy tips

  • Never share a student's picture password or access card publicly.
  • Ask the teacher for help if the class code or pictures do not work.
  • School-login and family-account pathways are different; the teacher can explain which your child should use.

Common questions

Does my child need an email address?

No. A school-login student uses the class code, their name and their two pictures.

What happens if the pictures change?

The teacher can issue new pictures through the class administration screen.
