Insight Roster Upload Do's

DO: Contact your school or district administrator before attempting to manually add a new student to DreamBox.

Your school’s process may not include the ability for teachers to manually add new students via the Insight Dashboard.  

 

DO: Follow your school/district guidelines if you need to:
  • Add an existing student to your classroom. If permitted, you may copy a student from an existing classroom into your classroom.
    Create a new classroom. Follow school/district procedures to request additional DreamBox Math classes as needed.

 

Insight Roster Upload Don'ts

DON'T: Manually add a new student via the DreamBox Insight Dashboard.

There is a good chance that the student already exists in the system, and adding them will create a duplicate account. Contact your school/district administration to verify if the student has been or is being added by the district.

 

DON'T: Create a new account for a student that you know already has access to DreamBox Math.

If you are unable to locate the student or the student login credentials, contact DreamBox Support.

 

DON'T: Ignore errors regarding duplicate usernames and/or duplicate student numbers.

These errors point to an already existing account. Please contact DreamBox Support.

DON'T: Assign students a student ID number you created.

Student ID numbers should be assigned via the centralized roster upload only to prevent differing number formats.

 

DON'T: Remove yourself or other teachers from an active classroom.

This will block the teacher from viewing and potentially accessing DreamBox.

 

DON'T: Upload a roster for your classroom without coordination with your school administration.
