Often, school districts set up email security firewalls that keep emails by unauthorized senders from being received by teachers’ email inboxes.
Unless your school district specifies News@QuaverEd.com and Info@QuaverEd.com as authorized senders, emails from Quaver might not make their way to your inbox.
Please reach out to your school district IT team to authorize us as a sender. You may email Info@QuaverEd.com to request a recent issue of our newsletter you may have missed!
We’re sorry to hear that things aren’t working for you as we intend! Please describe the issue as best you can in an email to Info@QuaverEd.com and complete this Device Issue Report Form.
You may call us at (866)917-3633 for immediate assistance from Monday to Friday between 7am and 6pm (CST).
Student Account Issues
Student Account Issues
There are two methods to reset the password for your student’s account.
- You or your student may visit the Password Reset Page and enter the Student Account QuaverName. If an email address was specified upon account creation, a password reset email will be sent with next steps for secure password reset. The password set here will be the permanent account password moving forward.
- A Quaver teacher may visit Teacher Admin > Student Accounts > right-click a student > click Edit Student to see a purple button to Reset Student Password. The password set here will be a temporary account password. Immediately upon the next login, the student will be prompted to create a new, permanent account password.
There are four distinct ways to create student accounts and enroll them in your classes. Use the table below to evaluate each method.
Once students are logged in, the Student Dashboard is their hub for accessing Assignments and exploring Quaver! For information on building, giving, and managing Quaver Assignments, visit Using the Website/Training.
If you are able to confirm that an active Assignment has been given to a Quaver Class, an inactive Assignments icon would indicate that the student is not logging into the correct account.
The first step would be to confirm that your student is enrolled in the correct Quaver Class. Verify that they are listed in Teacher Admin > Student Accounts.
The second step would be to double check that the student is logging in to the correct QuaverName account (or SSO account) with the correct password.
If the student logs in through SSO and is unable to view Assignments you gave their Class, please reach out to your school district IT team to ensure they have correctly linked the student’s Quaver and SSO accounts.
Each QuaverMusic account (for students *and* teachers) has a unique Avatar character that can be customized with clothing, instruments, and other features. QuaverNotes are the virtual currency that user accounts may accrue and spend to customize their Avatar.
A student may view their account’s QuaverNote balance, by following these steps:
- Login and navigate to the Student Dashboard
- Click the Avatar character
- Peruse the clothing, accessories, and other custom feature options
- Select an item for purchase, and your QuaverNote balance will appear at checkout!
At this time, it is not possible for a user account (teacher or student) to view the QuaverNote balance of another user account (teacher or student).
Avatars and QuaverNotes are only available to QuaverMusic teacher accounts, QuaverMusic student accounts, and QuaverSEL student accounts.
As a digital education platform and service provider, QuaverEd interacts with a lot of sensitive data. This Privacy Policy describes how QuaverEd collects, utilizes, stores, transfers, and destroys sensitive data securely.
QuaverEd has a robust data security program in place to ensure the protection of the data we handle and to comply with all legal regulations, including FERPA and COPPA.

Teacher Account Issues
There are two methods to provide Quaver access to your substitute teacher:
- You can change your password and provide the substitute teacher with your login information. Visit this page to reset your password and provide the account credentials to your substitute. Upon your return, reset your password.
- Create a Student Account and use Quaver’s Assignments tools to allow access to your desired lessons.
All custom content will remain in your Quaver account from school year to school year. As long as you do not delete your custom items, they will be there in your Resource Manager!
We encourage teachers to devise a Resource Folder structure and label system that organizes older materials and sets things up for the coming year. Check out our QuaverPD videos for advice on organizing folders in the Resource Manager.
Many teachers organize and label their folders by grade level, grading period, unit topic, month, season, etc. Folders can be clicked, dragged, and dropped as you wish.
Each QuaverMusic account (for students and teachers) has a unique Avatar character that can be customized with clothing, instruments, and other features. QuaverNotes are the virtual currency that user accounts may accrue and spend to customize their Avatar.
To view your account’s QuaverNotes balance, follow these steps:
- Login and navigate to Quaver Street.
- Click your Avatar character.
- Peruse the clothing, accessories, and other custom feature options.
- Select an item for purchase, and your QuaverNotes balance will appear at checkout!
At this time, Avatars and QuaverNotes are available only to QuaverMusic teacher accounts, QuaverMusic student accounts, and QuaverSEL student accounts.
To share lessons with district colleagues:
- In Resource Manager, right-click the lesson you’d like to share and select “Share Lesson”. Alternatively, you can select the lesson, then click Menu > Share Lesson.
To find shared content:
-
Teachers on your district license can use the search bar in Resource Manager to find content by your name or the lesson/assignment title.
-
They can also browse all shared resources from the Resource Sets > Custom Resources (left panel).
To use shared content:
-
Teachers can drag and drop shared lessons/assignments into their own folder structure, creating a copy they can further customize and use.
If shared lessons do not appear:
-
Verify that you and/or your district colleagues have followed the correct steps to share a custom lesson or assignment.
If shared materials still do not appear:
-
Call us at (866) 917-3633 or email Info@QuaverEd.com for further assistance.
Yes! Single Sign-On (SSO) allows users to log into Quaver through another platform or district portal, such as Clever, ClassLink, Schoology, or Google. Consult your district IT to determine if an SSO Integration is possible or exists, or contact Implementation@QuaverEd.com for help to set one up.
