How students log in?

You can also apply to enable quick IP Login.

If you do not know your student login, login to your Teachers Dashboard to see your student login details.

How do teachers login to access account settings?

NEW Schools that subscribed after November 2020 will have a separate teacher only login. The teacher login will allow you to access to manage your account details and access teacher specific resources. Teacher login is via the Teachers Dashboard.

What is IP Login?

IP login allows for your school’s network IP address to be saved to your account. Students can then login using the single-click quick IP login link without needing to remember usernames or passwords.

How do I get IP address login?

To be eligible for quick IP login, your school must have a static IP address (a fixed IP address that doesn’t change). Speak to your schools Network Administrator for this information. Then email us your IP address to ahm@ryebuck.com.au to request IP login.
