Frequently asked questions - FAQ

Registering your classes

I registered my class last year. Can l still use the same class ID and password this year?

Each school year we create a new database, so you need to register your participating class(es) again every year. You can create the same class name and password if you want, but the system will provide you with a new class ID number for this year.

I have a split grade class (Grade 4/5). What grade should I indicate when I register my class?

Please choose the grade level that represents the largest number of students in your class.

I would like my Grade 3 class to participate, but the registration only starts with Grade 4.

Contact your Statistics Canada regional education representative. He or she can give you a test ID and password for your class that will let your students fill in the online survey and allow you to access the class results. However, your class responses will not be part of the national survey.

What’s the difference between the class name, the class password and the class ID?

You make up and enter a class name to identify the group: for example, ‘7b math.’

You create a class password, such as ’stars,’ for your students to use to access the online questionnaire.

The system will automatically generate the class ID, which students will also use to access the online questionnaire.

I want to change the class password or correct the class information I gave. How do I make the changes?

From the Teachers page, click on Sign in and enter your e-mail address and teacher password. Under Registered classes, click on the link for the class ID and then make the changes you want to the profile. The ID number itself cannot be changed.

Please change the class password after all your students have completed the survey, to make sure that they don’t contribute more responses.

I'm having trouble scrolling down my customized teacher page. My browser is Netscape.

If you use Netscape, you should update to version 7.x and you will not experience this problem.
