To get started, you will need a sign-in name and password. Sign-in names and passwords are necessary so that student activity can be stored in a central database. Teachers and school administrators can review student and class progress through reports in the administrative sections of the Focus Web site. If you are a teacher or school official, please read the appropriate section below. Students can review the "For Students" section below.

For Teachers & School Officials

The Florida Department of Education has provided information about the FCAT Explorer to your District Superintendent's office. Each school district office has an FCAT Explorer District Administrator. District Administrators provide schools in their district with sign-in name and password information for the FCAT Explorer. The District Administrator may choose to provide teachers and other school staff with FCAT Explorer training.

At the beginning of the school year, the Florida Department of Education sends sign-in information to each public school in the state of Florida. This information includes a School Administrator sign-in name and password. The School Administrator for each school will create and distribute sign-in names and passwords for teachers. Teachers will then have access to the FCAT Explorer Teacher's Desk, where they can enroll students in the FCAT Explorer program.

Your sign-in name and password for the Focus Web site are the same as your FCAT Explorer sign-in name and password. If your FCAT Explorer sign-in name and password are not working, let your teacher know. He or she may need to create a class before your sign-in and password will work.
