If you do not see the Assessments option in the administrator tools, this means you do not have the Curriculum Administrator role assigned to your profile. If you do not yet have an existing account, or if you have an account but not the proper role, reach out to an Organization Administrator in your district. District Organization Administrators can create new accounts and add roles to existing accounts at the district and school levels. School Organization Administrators can only create accounts and add roles for teachers and administrators for the school(s) they are associated with.
