How Do My Students Access SAGE Formative?
Student access is through SSID numbers. When they log in for the first time each school year, they will use their SSID numbers as both their username and password.
The system will force a password change.
Teachers do not have access to student passwords.
If students forget passwords, they will have to request another one.
