Before School Starts
At a Glance Log in through your district IT admin and watch the Introducing Arts & Letters video. These two steps orient you to the platform and unlock everything else in this guide.
Your log-in method depends on what your district has set up. Start with your district’s IT administrator—they can confirm the correct log-in method, verify your account is active, and resolve most issues right away.
Once you’re in, navigate to your grade level by using the menu in the top left corner, then find the Implementation Resources tab, open the Implementation Support Videos, and watch the Introducing Arts & Letters video for a short overview of the year ahead. This video gives you a sense of the curriculum’s design philosophy and how the modules are structured before you start exploring the materials themselves.
