5. I had a Summit K12 account last year. Why isn't my log-in working this year?
The LMS experiences a rollover each summer which archives all data from the previous school year. This includes accounts, reports, and student progress. If your log in credentials from the previous school year are no longer working, this indicates one of the following:
- The renewal subscription is still pending.
- The renewal subscription is confirmed, but Onboarding has not yet started.
- Onboarding has started, but the Admin/Teacher Roster has yet to be received by Support.
- The Admin/Teacher Roster was received and uploaded by Support but your name was not listed.

Teacher - Support Teacher FAQs
1. My student is unable to log in. How can I help them?
First, identify if the student's account exists on the LMS. The easiest way to check is to quickly search for the student in the enrollment box.
Second, confirm the student's email address is correct. If there is a typo in the student's email address, please Contact Us to make corrections.
If the student's account does not exist, an account may need to be created for them. Please view Adding Additional Students to Summit K12 or Contact Us for more information*.
- If the student's account exists and they are unable to SSO through Clever, ClassLink, or RapidIdentity:
- Please contact your district's IT/Tech department for additional guidance.
- It is likely they will need to include the student in the sharing permissions.
- If the student's account exists and they are unable to log in manually at our website:
- You are able to Reset the student's password.
- Share the new password with the student.
*Please note: Districts who purchase our Connect to Literacy English Language Development program may only choose to roster students who are coded in your SIS as Emergent Bilingual. Attempts to add a student that does not follow your district's data-sharing permissions may be denied.
2. My student is able to log in but cannot see any content under "My Courses".
If your student sees the following after logging in, then your student has not been enrolled in your course(s).
View How to Enroll Students and/or Support Teachers for additional instructions and information.
3. How do I enroll Users in my Class?
View How to Enroll Students and/or Support Teachers for additional instructions and information.
4. Why isn't my student appearing in the enrollment box?

*Please note: Districts who purchase our Connect to Literacy English Language Development program may only choose to roster students who are coded in your SIS as Emergent Bilingual. Attempts to add a student that does not follow your district's data-sharing permissions may be denied.
5. I tried to manually add a student to the enrollment box, but they are enrolled in another school.
- The student transferred in-district:
- District is rostering students with ClassLink Roster Server or an SFTP nightly sync: Please allow 2-3 days for them to appear in your school's enrollment box. This allows any updates to your SIS to be reflected on the LMS.
- District is rostering students manually: Please contact your District Admin or Summit K12 Support to transfer students to another school within the district.
- The student transferred out-of-district: View Can Students be Transferred Between Different Districts? for more information.
You may also Contact Us to transfer a student for you manually.
6. I see non-Emergent Bilingual students in the enrollment box. Does that mean I can enroll them in my Connect to Literacy course?
Enrolling a student in a Summit K12 course will consume a license. We recommend teachers refrain from enrolling non-Emergent Bilingual students in their Connect to Literacy course to avoid potential overage charges. Contact the school or district's Bilingual Coordinator overseeing Connect to Literacy implementation for additional guidance.
7. My student is unable to record themselves on the iPad.
All Users utilizing an iPad to access Summit K12 will need to download and use the most updated Summit K12 iOS Application for full functionality.
Check to see if the iPad microphone is enabled for the Summit K12 app.
Contact your district’s IT/Tech department for additional assistance.

10. Can students pause and resume an assessment?
Students may pause and resume assessments at a later time if needed. Any previously answered questions will be saved. When students return to the assessment, the assessment table will simply display a Resume button instead of Start. Selecting Resume will direct the student to the unanswered question they were last on.
The only reason a student would not be able to Resume would be if the "Testing Window Dates" have passed or if the teacher marks the assessment as (locked).
11. If I remove a student from a class and enroll them in a new one, what happens to their data?
A student's data is tied to the account and not a class, so if a student is removed from class and enrolled in another of the same grade level (band), the data will move with them. If the student is enrolled in another grade level (band), their previous data will be archived and can be recovered once enrolled in the previous grade level.
