Keeping teacher and student accounts secure

Account Security for students

• Reminding students about account security will help keep their accounts secure: 
• Only they should use their account and answer questions. The Sparx system learns how they learn. If they are stuck on a question, they can watch the accompanying video or ask for help. 
• Encourage students to log out of their accounts when they are not using Sparx.

Account Security for teachers

• Your Sparx site provides you with access to personal information about your students. 
• Choose a strong password that is a minimum of 8 characters long and contains a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols. (Common word and number combinations are not accepted e.g. Password1)
• Make sure the devices you use to access your account (including any personal devices) are password protected. If you use a shared device, ensure your Sparx password is not automatically saved. 
• Log out of your Sparx account or lock your device screen when you are not using it or are leaving the device unattended.
