Quick Overview For Teachers

This is our home page. If you don't have an account with us, creating one is fast and easy. Just click on the "Create A Teacher Account' link!   Once you have an account setup, to access it again, just click on the 'Sign in as a teacher' link in the upper right.



When you create an account, you will be asked some simple questions. We ask for an optional secondary phone number and email address so we can get in touch with you - just in case. You also supply the grade level for your class, who parents checks should be made out to (this will appear on our letter home to the parents), and we ask for your birth month and day, so you can be eligible for possible birthday specials. Of course your email address and desired password are asked twice to insure accuracy



Next we'll ask you to select your school by first selecting the state, and then selecting your city. If you can't find your city or school on our list, then you can just give us some basic school information in order to complete your registration.



As soon as you complete your registration, you will be automatically signed in and you will be brought to a thank you screen with an important email test link on it. Please click the link that says [Click to send a test email]. This will send you a test email to make sure that you will have no problem receiving emails from Books Rock. If you do not receive that email within 15 minutes, please contact your IT department to make sure that they allow you to receive email from booksrock.com.


The next step is to click on the 'My Book Club Account' link in the upper right corner of your screen



The My Book Club Account page is the home base from which you will do everything else. Take a look here, and then an explanation of each option will follow.



MANAGE MY MONTHLY BOOK CLUB CHOICES
Use this option to manage your book club choices for your class for each month. You may complete months in advance and your choices will be available next year too. You can also view what a flyer will look like with your selections on it.



IMPORTANT: Books Rock Book Club gives you the long sought after ability to select the books that you want on your flyers - we don't decide for you!   In order to have that flexibility, keep in mind that you will need to print your parent letters and flyers to give to your students each month.

Here is a sample of what a flyer might look like:



We've made selecting books for your flyer very easy. Your searches will be automatically narrowed down to your grade level (plus or minus a grade to include easier or more difficult material). If you like you can narrow down searches further by indicating a reading level. And if you need help deciding what to pick, we even offer our own monthly suggestions on the right side of the screen!



Once you click on a title from a search result or from our suggestions, or even from our hot links on the left side of the screen, all you have to do is click on our BOOK LIST HELPER icon to automatically add that book to your list! And what's really nice is that you decide in what order the books will be display! Look at the previous image. See the blue two-headed arrows in the left column? Just drag your books up and down to order them the way you want.



The MANAGE MY WISH LIST option gives you the opportunity to show parents materials that you might like them to purchase for your classroom. It works just like the MANAGE MY MONTHLY BOOK CLUB CHOICES option does.

The MANAGE MY STUDENTS & THEIR ORDERS option is where you enter your students' orders when they bring their flyers back in from home. This option can also be used to indicate parent/guardian email addresses so that you can email the Book Club flyers directly to them.

When you are first entering an order for a student, the top part of the screen will be empty and the bottom part will show the books that you placed on the flyer. All you have to do is click on the book(s) they want to order, and the book will magically appear in the listing at the top of the page! If you want more than one copy of something, click it again for each additional copy - what could be simpler?

As you can see, you also have the opportunity to record the student's payment here. And a student brings in a flyer from one or two months ago, you can just click on it and show the appropriate book images to choose from!



PARENT COMMUNICATIONS
This option allows you to edit, print or email a letter to your student's parents. You may also email the letter to yourself if you want to forward it on to your own email list.



SUBMIT ORDERS & VIEW ORDER HISTORY
This option allows you to view your accumulated student orders, send them to Books Rock, view your order history, and even check on the Reward Credits you have earned!



ADMINISTER MY BOOK CLUB
This option allows you to review and modify some basic information associated with your Books Rock Book Club.
