Clearing Locks

When a student enters his password incorrectly more than 5 times, he is locked out of the AR system until his account is unlocked. This is a security message to keep other students from entering accounts that are not their own. If a student in locked out, here are the steps to follow to solve the problem, but first and foremost, please make sure that he knows his password (his student number.)

  1. Log into AR Management
  2. Click on Go at the top of the AR menu
  3. Select Students (right under School)
  4. When the student list appears, click on Students at the top of the window
  5. Select Clear All Locks (you can also clear just one student, but go ahead and clear them all while you’re in there)

Deleting Tests from Student Records

  1. Log into AR Management
  2. Click Classroom
  3. Click on your name and OK
  4. Click Reading Practice
  5. Select a student in the top frame
  6. In the bottom frame, select the test(s) the student failed. To select more than one quiz, hold down the Ctrl key as you click each title
  7. Click the Delete button on the left side
  8. Click Yes
  9. Click on the next student and continue

AR Not Hitting the Database

More often than not, logging out and logging back in will fix this problem. It usually happens when your computer has lost its connection with the network. However, if this does not fix the problem, please submit it to the Help database.
