Note: This article is for school admins using Clever or ClassLink to roster in Hatch™. If you do not use Clever or ClassLink, please see [School Admin] Getting Started With Hatch™: Rostering.
As a school administrator, you will help oversee the setup for your school(s) so that children can begin to play and progress.
Log In to Your Hatch Insights™ Account
To get started, you'll need a Hatch admin or another administrator at your program to add your info to your school. Once they set up your account, you'll receive a welcome email from Hatch with a temporary password to help you log in.
The Let's Go! button in the email will take you to the Insights login screen.
ClassLink or Clever Single Sign-On (SSO)
If your program has set up SSO within ClassLink or Clever, then simply enter your portal (ClassLink or Clever) and click the Hatch Insights app to be automatically logged in.
Insights Login
On the login screen, enter your email address (the same one where you received your welcome email) and your temporary password found in the welcome email. Click Log In.
Next, you'll be prompted to create a new password. Your password must be more than six characters. After setting up your account, you can get started with Hatch.
Getting Started in Insights
If your program uses Clever or ClassLink to roster, then getting started is simple. After your organization admin has set up the roster connection, then you will get access to Insights. In Insights, you'll find a Setup Assistant to help you finish getting set up and know what to do once children start playing.
Setup Assistant Step 1
Step 1 is to check your roster. This step helps to ensure that your program is set up correctly. To complete this step, just take a look at the different links to view your schools, classes, educators, and children. If you notice any issues, let your organization admin know.
Setup Assistant Step 2
Step 2 is important to get children playing. For Hatch products, children log in by selecting their photos, so before they can play, their photos need to be uploaded.
Most Clever and ClassLink customers choose to add placeholder photos to their children’s profiles to help them start playing quickly. These placeholder photos can be updated at any time. For more information about adding photos, please see [Org Admins, School Admins, Teachers] Adding Child Photographs.
As a school admin, you can delegate tasks to other educators in your program, but only other school admins in your school and organization admins can assign tasks to you. To assign a task, click the Delegate Task button.
After you click this button, you'll see a pop-up that will allow you to select from existing members of your school to assign the task. Once you delegate the task, you will see the following message highlighted in orange:
The person to whom you assigned the task to will see this task highlighted on their Setup Assistant like this:
Setup Assistant Steps 3–6
The last four steps are important for understanding the impact Hatch tools can have on your children and your educators.
Once your teachers have started step 3, we encourage you to check out these important reports in Insights and see the growth your children will have!
