I am unable to Log In; what could be the problem?

Your user name and login are case sensitive.  Be sure your CAPS Lock is not on and try again.

 What do I do if my student is not on the list?

 If this is a new student, it may take a few days for your district and the Data Warehouse to upload the information.  Try searching for the student again in a day or two.
