Q. What do I need to know as a/an Teacher/Administrator at the beginning of the year?

Great question!  You can view the Teacher or Administrator Getting Started Guide for help with the most common tasks for the beginning of the year.  It is located at the top right of your Teacher/Administrator Home Page.

Q: What does the ID/Email field on the login page mean? I entered my email address, but it wasn’t recognized.

Thanks for giving us a chance to explain this one. Students and teachers can use their email address as an alternate login ID if they have included their email address on their account. To check whether your account includes your email address:

1. Click the link labeled Profile on the Student Home Page or Teacher Home Page
2. Verify the correct email address on your account, or update the information to include your email address

In addition to using your email address as an alternate login ID, students and teachers can retrieve forgotten login IDs and passwords 24/7 via email by using the Forgot ID/Password link on www.castlelearning.com.

Q: I am a teacher, and while I was creating one of my classes I couldn’t find a student.  What is the best way to tell Castle Learning?

School enrollment information certainly does change, and occasionally students move into a school or district after the enrollment information has been uploaded. If you cannot locate a student for one of your classes, use the link labeled Notify Support about Missing Students on the Add Students page. You can report multiple missing students on one form by using the plus sign to add another set of fields for student information. When we receive your submission, Castle Learning Customer Support will notify an Administrator account holder at your school or district to approve and assist in creating the account you’re missing.
