open - your home base for
the Activity Challenge.
• The first time you visit,
you’ll land on the School tab
where all of your schools’
classes and teachers are
listed.
• This is where you can create
another class teams (if you
teach multiple classes), or
add an additional teacher.

9. ADD SUPPORT TEACHERS
• If necessary, you can add
another teacher to your
class, (for example, a
physical education teacher
or substitute) to support
delivery of the Activity
Challenge and continue
your students’ progress
through the Team sessions
and activities.

10. INVITE PARENTS
• Invite parents to unlock their
child’s profile.
• In order for the Activity
Challenge to be done at home
and at school, a student’s
registration must be completed
by their parent or guardian.
• Need parents permission
before adding them? We have a
printable permission PDF to
download and share. Then start
adding students by clicking
“Invite Students”.

11. ADD STUDENTS TO THE CLASS
• Invite students the same
way you invite an
additional teacher: via
direct email to parents.
• We’ve made this easier for
you by adding the “bulk
student invite” function.

12. BULK STUDENT INVITE
• If you have parent emails for
your class on a CSV or Excel
spreadsheet, import them all
at once by putting “first
names” in the first column,
“last names” in the second
and emails” in the third.
• “Copy” all and “paste” into
the bulk import tab.

13. AUTOMATIC EMAIL TO PARENTS
• Parents will receive an
automatic email with
information on the benefits of
the Activity Challenge,
privacy, and ways they can
support their children at
home.

14. REGISTERED STUDENTS
• Once parents complete the
registration, “Invited Students” will
move above to your “Active Students”
list.
• Here, you’ll be able to track their XP
(experience points), Team, Training and
Bonus points, and email their parents or
guardians directly.
• To remind a parent of a registration
email, delete and re-add the student a
second time, and the automatic email
will be re-sent.
• When all of your Invited Students have
been moved above to your Active
Students list, your class team is ready to
begin their first module!

15. THE MODULE CALENDAR
• This is the Module Calendar for all of the
activities you’ll be leading throughout
Module 1.
• There are 20 sessions to complete, so it’s
flexible for your teaching schedule.
• The program starts on Feb 13 (Day 1), but
if you start a week later on Day 7 you can
still complete the previous activities to
acquire all of the points needed for you
and your students to gain module prizes.
• When a session is completed, the session
block will turn green.
• Incomplete modules will make you and
your students ineligible for some prizes.
