PowerUp Onboarding Step 2: Set Up
Make a plan to set up your site—you’ll want to make sure you know how to access myLexia, and choose some important settings in myLexia. You’ll also need to set up student and staff accounts, so that your students will have access to Lexia® PowerUp Literacy® and staff will have access to student reports.
Make sure you can access your myLexia account
To set up staff and student accounts, you’ll need access to myLexia, Lexia’s administrative portal. See How do I log in to myLexia? for more information.
Rostering
These resources will help you consider what method you would like to use to set up your site, create student and staff accounts, and group them into classes for reporting purposes:
Learn about your setup and rostering options: If you’re not sure what method you would like to use to set up your student and staff accounts, start by reading myLexia Setup and Rostering Options—this document gives an overview of the different rostering options available to you.
Manual Spreadsheet uploads: If you are planning to use a manual spreadsheet upload to create accounts and classes, start by reading Guidelines for Manually Setting Up Students Staff.
Thinking about using Clever? If you’re considering using Clever for rostering and single sign-on, start by reading An Overview of Clever Integrations.

Admin Settings in myLexia
This resource can help you choose some important administrative settings in myLexia:
Site-Specific URL
If your students won’t use single sign-on (SSO) to log in to PowerUp, you can simplify the student login process by creating links or bookmarks that use your site-specific URL.
To learn more about your custom link to PowerUp, see: Using your custom URL to access Lexia student programs
Checklist:
Have you confirmed that your school year start and end dates are correct in myLexia?
Have you created all of your student accounts?
Have you created staff accounts and classes so that educators can monitor student progress?
(For sites that don’t use SSO) Have you set up links to PowerUp using your custom URL?
