The Settings page allows you to edit the Holiday Scheduler and the Student Placement Method settings and other notifications.

Holiday Scheduler

The SuccessMaker Holiday Scheduler lets you enter specific holidays for a school or all of the schools in the district using SuccessMaker.

  1. From the Settings screen, press Edit on the Holiday Scheduler row.

  2. Use the calendar icon to enter start and end dates, add the holiday name, and click Add Dates. This adds a row to the Scheduled Holiday column. If all looks correct, Save.

    The date must be week days. No weekends are accepted. If no holiday name is entered, the default name is "Holiday."

  3. Click Remove next to a holiday to completely remove it for the school or district. This includes holidays that are entered incorrectly or by mistake.

Student Placement Method

If your district or school has access to a Momentum Math license, you can enable it for all schools at one time, or select individual schools that plan to use Momentum Math. When logging in, SuccessMaker may periodically remind you to review your selections.

Manual

Follow the steps below to enable Momentum Math manually:

  1. From the Settings screen, press Edit on the Student Placement Method row. A pop-up window appears with a list of your organizations.

  2. Select each organization for which you'd like to enable Momentum Math, or press the Select All option to select all organizations that are eligible for Momentum Math. If a district or school has purchased Momentum Math and SuccessMaker and prefers the Momentum Math method over SuccessMaker's Initial Placement method, then you should enable Momentum Math by selecting the Momentum Math option for that organization. If your district or school doesn't have a Momentum Math license, you cannot enable it as a placement method.

Auto-Enabled

If no placement method is explicitly selected for an organization, SuccessMaker Initial Placement will be used except when the following conditions are met. In this case, the system will enable Momentum Math on your behalf.

The following conditions are:

  • The district or school has a license for SuccessMaker and any Momentum Math product.

  • Students have a grade level, whether from the upload or given manually.

  • Students are rostered into a class in Realize or Easybridge that includes SuccessMaker Math.

  • Students are assigned an MSDA diagnostic assessment which in turn produces a scale score that is sent to SuccessMaker.
