How do Teachers and Staff Take Quizzes as Students?

Status: All staff as of 11/20/2018 have accounts to sign in as a "student" to take quizzes and partake in OKLTRAWDT! [Newark & Camden Only]

• Note: that mid-year new staff members will not have accounts automatically created.  School-based AR point people will be trained on how to manage and add new staff accounts
• Link: Do not use Clever for these accounts.  Login to AR - Select "I'm A Student"
• Login: yourlogin@staff, eg jdoe@staff
• PW: [your Dayforce staff ID]  -- The same number you see when you log into Dayforce > Profile > Work Information > Number

How do Families Take Quizzes as Students'?

Status: A "family" account was created based on each student following similar student login and password info as of 10/5/2018 enrollment.  This will allow a family member to sign in to take quizzes just as a student. [Newark Only]

• Note that mid-year new family members will not have accounts automatically created.  School-based AR point people will be trained on how to manage and add new family accounts
• Keep in mind that only one "family" account was created for each student, so if a family is looking for an account for each caregiver, those accounts will need to be updated and managed by School-based AR point people

• Link: Login to AR - Select I'm A Student
• Login: same student login with a ".fam" added to then end,  e.g., firstlast01.fam
• PW: same password as student core password (same as their AR password)
• Link to family credentials (scroll right to find the "fields family_web_id" and "family_web_password")
