Walkabouts Platform Information for Primary Contacts
Primary Contact Role
The Walkabouts Platform, a web-based, whole-child active learning solution, brings movement into everyday classroom instruction. With pre-K to 5th grade lessons correlated to state and national standards, educators can seamlessly integrate physical activity and mental fitness into math, ELA, reading, science, social studies, financial literacy, and test preparation—helping students learn better and feel better. The platform includes Walkabouts for pre-K to 2nd grade, 180s for 3rd to 5th grades, Walksheets (PDF worksheets with a movement component) for pre-K to 5th grade, and Moves, short movement break videos for pre-K to 5th grade.
A primary contact is assigned the role by a district or school administrator and serves as a liaison between a district or school and the Walkabouts Platform. If you are the primary contact for your district or school and if you have received a welcome email from the Walkabouts Platform, you can get started!

Set Up Teachers with Login Credentials
Primary contacts at districts and schools are responsible for setting up teachers with Walkabouts Platform login credentials. Teachers must have login credentials to use the Walkabouts Platform. This setup typically happens in one of two ways:
-
Upload teacher information into the Walkabouts Platform to create login credentials for teachers.
-
If your district or school uses Clever or ClassLink, work with your district’s or school’s technology department to connect to the Walkabouts Platform app. If you use Clever or ClassLink, do not upload your teachers. Instead, contact us at support@walkabouts.com to learn next steps.
To set up teachers with login credentials, the primary contact will need the names, email addresses, and grade levels of all pre-K to 5th grade teachers in the district or school. We recommend providing Walkabouts Platform access to all teachers regardless of their role.

Visit walkabouts.com/lms/settings/account for the teacher upload template and additional information.
Set Up Students with Login Credentials
Your district or school may choose to provide Walkabouts Platform login credentials for all students so they can access the platform at school or at home. As with setting up teachers, if your district or school uses Clever or ClassLink, do not upload students, but instead contact us at support@walkabouts.com to learn next steps.
You may choose to complete one or both of the following:
-
Upload a list of all students at your school.
-
Create a class team for each classroom teacher at your school.
-
You will need the names, email addresses, and grade levels of all pre-K to 5th grade students at your school. The classroom teacher’s name is optional. Note: Students must be able to access the email address in order to set their passwords. If desired, you may use a student or a parent/guardian email address.
-
You will upload the student information into the Walkabouts Platform to create login credentials for students.
Note: Primary contacts may ask classroom teachers to upload their own students to create student login credentials.
