How do I view or manage my classes?
In your account, you will have the class or classes that contain all of your students. These classes are where you will assign the sample test and assessment sessions, view student reports and manage students. To view or manage your classes, follow these steps:
1. Log in to your teacher account.
2. Once you are logged in, you will be able to see and manage your classes by selecting the Classes/Groupings tab on the left-hand sidebar.
3. In this view, you will see your classes. To open a class, click Select Class.
4. Once you have opened your class, you will be able to review key information about the class and assign assessments. The image below shows a sample class. The descriptions beneath the image correspond to the numbers in the image.
- Access Code (for Class): Your class will have an access code. This access code gives students access to the class.
- Class: Your class is school-board assigned, meaning the information about it has been uploaded by your school board. Although you can create multiple groups of students, your class (marked by a green star) is where you will run the live assessment with your students.
- New Assessments: Click Start or Schedule Assessment Session to launch new assessment sessions and sample tests.
- View Reports: Click View Reports to view reports from the assessment.
- Manage Students: Students currently in the class are listed here.

How do I add or remove additional teachers or invigilators?
Important: At this time, school administrators cannot add teachers to different classes once the class has been created and a host teacher assigned. Only a teacher that was originally assigned to a class by the school administrator will have the ability to add or remove additional teachers or invigilators.
Please Note: Any changes you make will be visible in the school admin account. As soon as a change is made, administrators can see a record of additional teachers or invigilators who have been added to a class in the Classes/Groupings Tab and Teachers/Invigilators Tab.
1. To add additional teachers or invigilators to a class, you first need to select the class from the teacher home page.
2. Next, click [Add/Remove] to add or remove an additional teacher or invigilator to your class. Adding additional teachers/invigilators will allow them to invigilate tests for this Class.
3. To add a teacher or invigilator, select the box next to the teacher or invigilator’s name, then click OK.
Please note: To remove a teacher or invigilator, you can deselect the box next to the teacher or invigilator’s name, and then click OK.
4. Once the additional teachers or invigilators have been added or removed, you can see a record of the currently assigned teachers/invigilators at the top of the class page next to [Add/Remove] Additional Teacher(s)/Invigilator(s).
Please note: Teachers/invigilators originally assigned to the Class will not see their own names displayed in the additional teachers list.
How do I view my students?
1. Log in to your teacher account.
2. Once you are logged in, you will be able to see and manage your classes by selecting the Classes/Groupings tab on the left-hand sidebar.
3. In this view, you will see your classes. To open a class, click Select Class.

How do I add students to my class?
Your school board will have pre-loaded a class into your account. This class will already have all your students in it. The board-assigned class is also where the assessment session must be administered.
However, you may need to add students to your class after the initial upload. This can be done directly from your class.
Follow the instructions below to add a student to your class.
1. Log in to your teacher account.
2. Once you are logged in, you will be able to see and manage your classes by selecting the Classes/Groupings tab on the left-hand sidebar.
3. In this view, you will see your classes. To open a class, click Select Class.
4. Select Manage Students.
5. In this view, you can click New Student Account and enter the student’s personal information and OEN. This will add the student to your class.
How Do I Add a Guest Student to my Class?
A guest student could be
- a remote student associated with a virtual school (i.e. online through a virtual school at the school board) or
- a home-schooled student with an OEN, as they are not taught by a teacher associated with that school.
A student who is attached to the school, but is home-instructed or learning online through the school, is not considered a guest student. This student can complete the assessment in-person because they are on the school list.
Please follow the steps below to add a guest student to a class.
1. Select the class from the teacher home page.
2. Next, click Manage Students from the Classes page.
3. After clicking on Manage Students, you will see a page displaying a list of registered students in your class or grouping.
To add guest students, click Add Guest Students.
4. To add guest student(s), you will need to input the Access Code (1) from the students’ assigned Class/Grouping at their home school. After you enter the Access Code in the space, press “Add” (2).
5. After you enter the Access Code, all students associated with the code will be added to your Class with the label “Guest” next to their names.
6. To remove guest students from a class or grouping, select Guest Classes (1) beside Registered Students. A table will appear listing the access codes of the classes that were added. Select the remove button (2) found below column labelled “Remove” in the row of the guest class access code you would like to remove. Clicking on the Registered Students will take you back to your list of students. Students who were labelled as “Guest” will no longer appear in your list.
Please Note: The teacher from the home school should not schedule assessments for students that have been added to classes or groupings at another school as guest students.
