Quick Tips

Below are some tips to help teachers register for the Read to Succeed Program:

Go to www.sixflags.com/read

It will look like this:

If you DO have an account from last year, please login with your email address and password

from last year and confirm your information.

If you do NOT have an account from past year, click on the blue button that says “Register” to

register:

You will then see this:

Enter your email address and password (twice). The password needs to include at least one

upper case letter, one lowercase letter and one number. Then click on the “Register” button.

You will then go through a series of questions to answer.

o You can select traditional school

if you are a public or private school. Select homeschool if you are a homeschool.

o Enter the zip code for your

school then click “Search”. A list of schools will appear:

o Click on your school name and

click on the “Found It!” button. You might need to scroll down to find your school. If

you scroll down and cannot find your school please send us an email through the

“Contact Us” link and we will help you. After you select your school, you will see a

Teacher Registration Form:

o This is where you can fill in/edit your

name, email, tell us if you are a teacher with students, a teacher without students or

school support personnel. You will also need to tell us what subjects you teach (ex.

Reading, All Subjects, etc) and tell us how many students are in your class. IMPORTANT:

Entering the number of students you teach is NOT your submission for how many

students will earn a ticket. Then you can click on the “Continue” button and then you

will see the Password Recovery Options page.

o On this page, please enter an alternate

email. If you do not have one, click on the box indicating you do not have one. We

prefer to have an alternate email just in case your primary email address firewall

prevents our emails from going through. Please fill in the 3 Security Questions to help

you reset your password in the future. It is not mandatory but is helpful. Click

“Continue” then you will see this:

o Let us know how you heard about the

program and what the primary way you heard about the program was and then click

“Continue” and you will see this:

o At this point your registration is

complete but you still have a few more steps. Read the page & check the 3 boxes and

click “Continue”. You will now have access to your online account!

You will see that you have 5 tabs across the top:

o The Edit Profile tab will allow you to see your information and make any edits

o The Edit Students tab will allow you to enter and edit your student information (you will

need to enter at least one student to receive your free teacher ticket)

o The Select Park will show you which Six Flags park your school coordinator selected.

o The Mark Complete tab has a Mark Complete button. Clicking this button will tell us

that you have added all your students to the “Edit Students” tab and have completed

your submission. If you need to make changes after you clicked on the button, you can

unlock your submission by clicking on the Mark Complete button again as long as we

haven't allocated your tickets yet (after we allocate your tickets your profile can not be

unlocked).

o The Teacher Toolbox tab is where you can view and download the program materials

such as the Student Reading Log.

While your registration is now complete, your work is not done.

Send your students home with the Reading log and Parent Letter. We suggest you give the

students a deadline of early-February to return their reading log to give you enough time to

enter the students in your online account by March 1st. The deadline for you to enter the

student information in your online account is March 1st.

Below are tips to help teachers ADD a student to their account:

To add a student, click on the “Edit Student” tab, then you will see this:

o o Fill in the student’s information in the yellow section by clicking on the white box under

First Name and type the student’s first name. Click on the white box under Last Name

and type the student’s last name. Click on the white box under Grade and enter the

student’s grade level (for Kinder, please enter a zero “0”. Click on the white box under

Hours and enter the total hours the student read (must be 6 or higher – DO NOT enter

minutes). Then click on the “Add” button. If you enter a number lower than 6, that

student will NOT earn a ticket. Please ensure you enter the number “6” for the hours.

o The student information

you just entered will now appear in a list below the yellow section.

If you run into any problems, please click on the red “Contact Us” and send us a message.

Once you have completed entering all your student submissions in your online account, you

need to mark your account complete in the “Mark Complete” tab. This will tell us that all your

work is done and you are ready to receive tickets for the students that are listed in your

account.
