Note: You can make changes to multiple students at the same time before confirming changes. |
Updating Initial Placement
You can edit a student's initial placement level from the dashboard before they sign in and begin playing DreamBox. This will update their placement in DreamBox Math, not their enrolled (rostered) grade level, or the Grade field.
To update the Initial Placement field:
- Sign into your dashboard, select the Settings icon, and then click the Roster tab.
- Use the Classrooms filter to select the classroom you want to view.
- Click the down arrow and select the appropriate grade level.

If a student has already signed in for the first time, you cannot update their placement in the dashboard and need to contact DreamBox Customer Support for assistance. We would be happy to help you update the student's placement. |
FAQs
| Q: We use Clever to set up and update DreamBox Math rosters. Can teachers manually change a student's grade level for a student in their roster without impacting the Clever update? |
A: All updates to student account details like classroom and grade should be managed through your district IT team and Clever.
