We love ClassLink! It makes accessing our digital content and management apps so easy! It makes sense that ClassLink is our friend, ready to help us out with Second Step, as well.
1. From your ClassLink page, select the + in the upper left, which will take you to the App Library.
2. Remaining in the “All Apps” area, search the word “second”, clicking on “Second Step” when it appears.
3. Select “Add” to place the app/icon on your ClassLink page.
4. Close the App Library by clicking on the white X in the upper right of the blue window.
5. Now that Second Step is on your ClassLink page, you will need to either create then connect your digital account OR, if you have already created a digital account, just connect it. (If you already created a digital account, please skip to step 14).
6. Click on the Second Step app.
7. When the white pop-up appears, select “Skip”.
8. You will land on the Second Step login page. Select “Create Account” (below Log In).
9. Enter your full district email, then “Continue”.
10. Fill in all required information.
11. The final field is for your “Product Activation Key” which is found on the first page of your Second Step binder. Enter without spaces, then “Submit”.
12. You will be taken to a plain page, but note (!) your email at the top right confirms a successful account.
13. “Log Out” at top right.
14. Back in ClassLink, select the Second Step app.
15. The same pop-up you saw in step 7 will appear.
16. This time, enter your full district email as your username and your unique password you created during the Second Step set-up process.
17. “Save”
18. You will be taken directly into Second Step. If you do not see materials right away, select “My Dashboard” in upper left.
Congratulations and enjoy!
