Note: This single sign-on (SSO) access is only available after each user has been added into your organization’s student information system (SIS) and shared from ClassLink to Hatch Insights™.

Your ClassLink administrator needs to provide access to Ignite by Hatch™ for all users.

Hatch™ offers two apps to ClassLink users: Ignite by Hatch™ and Hatch Insights™. For more information about the apps, see this article: [Org Admins, School Admins, Teachers, Families] Hatch™ Apps for Auto Roster Customers.

 

Ignite by Hatch™: Children, Teachers, and Families

We have one ClassLink app for all types of users. Depending on the device you're using, this app will either launch the web version of Ignite or the app version.

Note: You may be prompted to download the app version if you have not done so already. View Ignite device and system requirements.

SSO With ClassLink

Ignite can be launched via the ClassLink mobile app or by logging in to the ClassLink launchpad on the device where the app is installed.

  1. Open ClassLink, and select the Ignite by Hatch™ app.

    • Child ClassLink accounts will be sent directly to the Tree House to begin play.

    • Teacher ClassLink accounts will see either a class selection screen or the child login screen, where a child’s photo must be selected to begin play.

    • Family member ClassLink accounts will see the child login screen, where a child’s photo must be selected to begin play.

Note: Administrator ClassLink accounts will not be able to access the Ignite by Hatch™ experiences.

Before Children Play Ignite

Before children can play Ignite, they require a photo. ClassLink integration customers are recommended to enable the Organization Setting to automatically generate placeholder photos, which means that children can start playing via SSO immediately! Administrators and teachers can choose to add a child photo directly in each child’s profile if desired.

  1. You can add a photo by uploading it to Insights (Ignite’s reporting site), snapping a picture of a child “live," or asking families to submit a photo to respective teachers.
    • To request a photo from families, family information must be added to the SIS. Please allow time for the information to sync with ClassLink, which will ensure that the family’s email address is included within the child’s profile by way of Insights.
    • In the following article, you will find details regarding how to add/edit photos in Ignite: How do I add or change a child profile picture? To edit child pictures in Insights, simply navigate to View & Edit Children and then click the edit icon in the row of the child whose picture you'd like to edit. From this page, you can upload a new child photo.
  2. If you do not want to add child images, then an organizational admin will need to navigate to the Organization Settings page and disable this requirement.
