An ST Math Regional Implementation Manager will work with your district to get set up as part of your ST Math implementation process, but because all applications have unique requirements for set-up through ClassLink, please review the guidelines below to connect with ST Math.
Districts that wish to use ClassLink will connect with ST Math by setting up the Roster Server and then the Classroom Management Console. ST Math requires all of these fields to be shared in order to create classes and accounts: orgs, courses, classes, users, and enrollments. Please share only grade levels for students who contractually should have access to ST Math. Staff and students will use the OAuth2 App in ClassLink to access ST Math.
After sharing is set up, the Regional Implementation Manager will complete the setup for access in ST Math and after data is tested and processed by our Engineering team, educators shared through ClassLink will receive an email letting them know that an account has been created and classes will be created and populated with students shared in the synced data from the student information system.

Recommendations for Sharing Students, Teachers, and Administrators:
School administrators, teachers, and student accounts will be provisioned through ClassLink. This should include any staff that will use or monitor the program (Principals, Assistant Principals, Instructional Coaches, Resource Specialists etc.). Special Education teachers can be shared as school admins if not shared as coteachers for specific classes. Teachers with students/classes must be added through ClassLink and will login through the district ClassLink launchpad portal with their SSO login.Because ClassLink doesn't allow district admin to be shared, the Regional Implementation Manager will create a district admin account for the rostering contact and primary contact for the district. Any additional district admin accounts needed can be created by an existing district admin user at play.stmath.com. For directions on how to create admin accounts, click here.
Note: Admin users created in ST Math and not shared through ClassLInk will access ST Math by signing in at play.stmath.com since they are not being shared through ClassLink.
Recommendations for Sharing Students, Teachers, and Administrators:
Since student and teacher accounts will be provisioned through ClassLink, here are some reminders for setting share rules in ST Math:
- Students must be enrolled in a section with an assigned teacher to have accounts created.
- Best practice is to share MATH sections for licensed schools only. If students are not assigned MATH sections, sharing homeroom is best practice. Share intervention sections if appropriate.
- Do not share all sections to avoid unneeded teacher accounts and students in multiple classes. For example, sharing Science, ELAR, History, Art, Music, Physical Education, etc. creates unneeded classes if students receive an account through a shared Math or Homeroom account.
- Students must be given a grade designation in order to receive a grade level journey. Students will not receive an account with a grade designation of "Other".
- Teachers with students/classes must be added through ClassLink.
- Share school administrators and other staff members who will be monitoring ST Math as appropriate but not every staff member in the district. This should include staff such as principals, assistant principals, instructional coaches, resource specialists, math coaches, etc.
- Special Education teachers can be shared as teachers with their own class, as school admin, or as coteachers for specific classes.
- District admin cannot be shared through ClassLink at this time, so should be added by the primary contacts' ST Math accounts at play.stmath.com
Note: Admin users created in ST Math and not shared through ClassLink will access ST Math by signing in at play.stmath.com since they are not being shared through ClassLink. District or school admin accounts not shared through ClassLink can be created by an existing district admin user or a school super admin user at play.stmath.com. For directions on how to create accounts, click here.
Recommendations for Sharing Classes/Sections:
Please only share the sections for any schools, teachers, and students authorized to access ST Math. ST Math will mirror each section shared from the Student Information System through ClassLink. Typically math sections should be shared. If students are not assigned to a math section, then homeroom sections can be shared.For Example:
- All K-5 math students at Washington ES will use ST Math.
Share: All K-5 math sections at Washington ES. - Grades 1 and 2 at Johnson ES and Madison ES will use ST Math.
Share: Math sections in grades 1 and 2 at Johnson ES and Madison ES. - Sections C75 and M21 at Roosevelt MS will use ST Math.
Share: The specific section numbers at Roosevelt MS.
If non-math sections of students are shared like English, History, etc., the teachers of those sections will have ST Math accounts created and will have classes created in ST Math. It is a best practice to create accounts only for teachers who will use ST Math and only math sections.
Signing Into ST Math
Students, teachers, and school admin users shared through ClassLink files can sign in through the ClassLink district launchpad with their SSO login. Teachers and school admin may also sign in through play.stmath.com. Please note that the ClassLink login is set by the district and is different than the username and password for play.stmath.com.
Note: If a student is not shared in a section, they will not receive an account and cannot sign into ST Math.
