How to find your school specific Student viewer URL:

Some of the official school names are very common or are very long so we created a way you can link directly to your school for students.

The URL will look like:

https://viewer.digitalbookroom.com/#/login/?SchoolID=YOURSCHOOLIDHERE

Here is how to find the URL for your school :

1. Login as a Teacher

2. Either click or right click the icon next to your school name.

   • Clicking, will take you to the school specific URL

   • Right Clicking, on chrome, will allow you to copy the link address.

3. You then can share that URL or put on your school website.
