Prerequisite: Clever/Classlink Sync

Clever integration: Your District or School IT contact will receive an email to add the Ignite Reading application to Clever before an invitation to Ignite Reading’s School Portal is sent to your email.

Classlink integration: Your District or School IT contact will invite Ignite Reading to Classlink before an invitation to Ignite Reading’s School Portal is sent to your email.

This step is a prerequisite to enable district and school administrators to select and enroll students in the School Portal.

Your District or School IT Contact will need to follow the instructions to sync student information data from Clever/Classlink to the Ignite Reading Platform. Detailed instructions can be found in our Knowledge Base.

Accept Invitation & Register 

Once the Ignite Reading team has verified a successful sync with Clever/Classlink and have confirmed your preferred time slot(s), you will receive an email invitation from Ignite Reading to register for an account on Ignite Reading’s School Portal. Follow the steps below to accept and register. 

 

Accept the invitation to Ignite Reading’s School Portal

As a District or School Administrator, you will receive an invitation to the School Portal. Click the “Accept Invitation” button in the email. This action will lead you to the registration page for the School Portal. We recommend that only one School Administrator uses the School Portal to roster students to avoid conflicting actions in the Platform. 



Register

On the registration page, fill in your name, create a password, and click the “Create Account” button.


Sign In

After registering, you will be taken to a Sign In page. Sign in with your email and password that you created on the registration page.

Return to the School Portal

After you have registered, visit https://schools.ignite-reading.com to get started.

Select Students & Complete Student Information

Follow the steps below to: 

  1. Select your school
  2. Select students for the Ignite Reading program
  3. Complete required student information
  4. Submit your students for enrollment 

Upon submission, the Ignite Reading team will review submitted data. 

 
Select School

Once you are signed in, if you have been invited to more than one school, select the school you wish to work on first by Selecting “Add Students to Program.” If you are a School Administrator for a single school, you will see only your own school. Click “Get Started” to go to the Select Students page.


Select Students

All students synced during the Clever/Classlink sync process will appear on the “Select Students” page. (If you do not see all students or all grade levels you expect, check with your District or School IT contact. They may need to open the sharing filters in Clever or Classlink). 

Click the checkmark next to the name of each student you would like to enroll in the Ignite Reading program. You can select students until all the seats are filled for your school. Once the total number of seats has been filled, no additional students may be selected. 


Did you select the wrong student’s name? Click the checkbox again to remove the selection from your list!


Complete Student Information

Once you have selected the correct students, click “Next” to move to the “Complete Student Information” page. 


You may return to the “Select Students” page at any time by clicking on the navigation bar at the top of the page. Students who have already been submitted or enrolled will not show up on the “Select Students” page. 


Tip: You can click “Next” any time, whether you’re enrolling just one student or several students at the same time.


Complete Student Information

On the “Complete Student Information” page you will find a list of your selected students along with additional student information that has been pulled from your Student Information System (via Clever/Classlink).

  • Fields with a gray background have been populated with data from your Student Information System. If data needs to be changed in any of these fields, it must be changed in your district’s Student Information System. After changes are made to the district SIS, updated data will appear in the School Portal the next day. 
  • Fields with a pink background indicate that data needs to be entered in the School Portal. This information was not pulled from your Student Information System. Please complete all the fields with a pink background. You will be able to scroll horizontally and vertically on the table. 

NOTE: If a student is enrolled in a Special Education Program, you will need to select Special Education Program Accommodations for that student. If a student has accommodations that are not listed, select “None applicable to Ignite Reading.” The accommodations field will be active only when a Special Education program is selected.


Multilingual Learners


Multilingual Learners (MLLs) are supported across four developmental language stages: Beginning, Developing, Expanding, and Reaching. 


  • Beginning learners have a critical need for home language support, communicate using words or phrases, and are just starting to identify letters and sounds. They may benefit from strong visual support. 

  • Developing learners have a moderate need for home language support, can communicate basic ideas using expanded sentences, and may still need clarification in their home language. 

  • Expanding learners' need for home language support is minimal; students can begin to use some complex language structures and may simply need a few additional practice opportunities ("at-bats"). 

  • Reaching learners can engage in discussions with peers using English effectively and generally require only occasional support, as needed.

Once all the data is complete and there are no cells with a pink background, the “Submit” button will become active. Click this button when you are ready to send your selected student information to the Ignite Reading team.


Submit Students for Enrollment


Clicking “Submit” will send you to the Submitted and Enrolled Students page, where you will be able to see which students have been successfully submitted to Ignite Reading’s tutoring program. 


  • Student information in a purple box: Indicates the student has been submitted but has not yet been enrolled in the program.
  • Student information in a white box: Indicates the student is enrolled and the tutor-student pairing process is under way.


The Ignite Reading team will then be notified that you have completed the selection process. Our team will conduct a student data review, enroll the students, and the tutor pairing process will begin. 


** If a student has been submitted but not yet enrolled (purple bar), you may remove them from the program at any time by initiating an immediate drop. If you need to drop a student who has been enrolled, and has not started the program please submit a form in our  Knowledge Base.


You can check progress by returning to the School Portal, and viewing the Submitted and Enrolled Students page. https://schools.ignite-reading.com

 

How to Drop Enrolled Students

You can drop students from the program by entering a Last Session Date and the reason. Steps to drop a student:

  1. On the Submitted and Enrolled Students page, click “Drop” on the overflow menu next to the student’s name.
  2. The “Drop” action will open a dialog box where you can choose the student’s last session date and the reason for dropping the student. The earliest available date for the final session will be two days from the current date. This timing will give the student and the tutor time to wrap up the program and say goodbye.
  3. After you enter this information, you can confirm the drop. 
  4. After the last session date, you will have an open seat and will be able to fill it with a new student. To fill that seat, you will return to “Select Students,” go through the process to complete the student information and submit that student.
