2 The first thing is to make sure you have an
account with MobyMax. If you do please be
patient while I make sure to explain how to
get an account to those that may not have
one.
For those that do not have an account you
will need to go to www.mobymax.com and
choose Have a license.
Enter the appropriate information and choose
Register Free.

3 Enter the appropriate information and choose

Register Free.

The school zip code is 30814.

Then choose North Harlem Elementary.

4 You are now ready to sign in to MobyMax.

5 Once you are signed in you will need to
choose the tile called Roster.

You will then be shown the opportunity to

register a new student or bulk register a
student.
If have already registered your students
please continue to listen as there is some
pertinent information that you will need to
make sure you have completed after I show
how to bulk register students.

You can however use the register new

students throughout the school year when a
student is added to your class.
6 In the Bulk Register I have found it easiest
to just choose option 1.
We will go back though shortly and change a
few things after we have all our students
registred.

7 You will need to enter the students first name

and last name.

If you are just registering your students it is

important that you enter a student ID as well.
We have chosen to use the students lunch
number as their student ID.
This will allow us to promote the students at
the end of the year and will not have to mass
register students next year.

8 Now that you have all your students
registered it may seem a little time consuming
but it is really simple and fast to alter a few
things inside their information.

You will need to open your roster or keep it

open at this point.
Then you will click the little gear icon beside
each student.

At this point you can choose the students

grade level.
Now is where you can see their student ID.
You will use that number and change the
password they have been given to that
number as well.

We have in the past had issues with students

getting onto others accounts because the
computer remembers the students username.
The students remembered that their username
and password were the same so they just
retyped the one that popped up and would get
access to another students account.
By making sure the username and password
are not the same this is no longer an issue.
9 Once you have changed all the students
password and grade level information you are
now ready to print either a student login card
or a parent letter.

Younger grades may want to do both, since

the parents may not be familiar with
MobyMax.

If you have any questions please dont

hesitate to send me an email.
