PREPARING FOR A NEW SCHOOL YEAR

Getting started at the beginning of a new school year: a checklist for ReadingDoctor® Administrators. 

A new school year has started and you want to get going with ReadingDoctor® Online again. How do you update your school’s ReadingDoctor® Online account to reflect changes in classes for this year? 

Firstly, note that all existing students can continue to use the program with the same login details straight away! You don't need to wait for information about new classes or grades to be updated!

You can use this checklist to make the required changes and get your school’s account up-to-date as quickly as possible. Please refer to the section in the User Guide that explains how to use the Dashboard. You can also click on the links below the items in this checklist to see a quick tutorial on each item in the checklist. 

To prepare your school’s account for the new year, please ensure that:

Classes

✅ Class names are up to date (see Edit class details)

✅ New classes have been added (see Add a new class)

✅ Classes that are no longer part of the school have been removed (see Delete a class)

Teachers

✅ New teachers have been added (see Add a new teacher)

✅ Teachers who have left the school have been removed (see Delete a teacher)

✅ Existing teachers have been allocated to their correct classes (see Allocating teachers to classes)

Students

✅ New students have been added (see Adding a new student)

✅ Students who are no longer using the program have been removed (reset) (see Removing / deleting / resetting students)

✅ Students using the program have been allocated to their new classes (see Assigning Students to a New Class)

✅ Students who are continuing with the program have up-to-date grade data (see Updating student details) 

If you have a large number of changes, we can assist you by providing you with a spreadsheet containing your school’s data, which you can update with your new teachers, classes and student details. We will then update your school’s details for you. If you’d like us to help with updating your school’s data, please contact us by emailing support@readingdoctor.com.au!
