Rostering and Onboarding Your School or District

At Wayground, we spend lots of time thinking about how to save time for teachers, students, and school administrators. That doesn’t change when it comes to rostering and onboarding users on our School and District plans.

As a reminder, students can engage on Wayground without signing in or creating an account but here’s a quick overview of how we keep accounts synced when you do want to roster your school community.

To keep things simple and in sync, we connect with tools that you've already integrated with your SIS.

Here’s a quick overview of how that works:

1. When we onboard your school or district. Our team helps your administrators integrate Wayground with your LMS. This can be done in just a few minutes and, depending on your LMS, can be as simple as signing into your LMS from a link on Wayground.
   
2. Once the LMS is integrated, all teachers on the upgraded plan can start assigning Wayground activities to the relevant students and classes on that LMS.
3. When a student clicks on the Wayground assignment within their LMS, they’ll automatically be signed into their Wayground account without setting up a separate password or credentials.
4. When students complete their activity, their Wayground results can be instantly synced back to the LMS and integrated tools like your grade book.
5. Rostering updates on your SIS and LMS will also be reflected on Wayground.

How do students log in?

In the scenario outlined above, Wayground accounts are created and authenticated using the LMS integration, creating a Single Sign-On (SSO) experience. 

Your school community may also authenticate using additional SSO options including Clever, ClassLink, Google, and Microsoft.

Are there differences between rostering at a school vs. a district?

Users of both School and District plans benefit from our LMS & Rostering integrations. On a districtwide plan, your entire school community will be integrated and rostered at once. 

On a school or multi-site plan that doesn’t cover the entire district, our onboarding team will work with your administrators to ensure that the right faculty accounts have been upgraded so that they can use these integrations.
