*Please note that if you have previously installed an older version of the SuccessMaker At Home
software on your computer, you will need to uninstall that software prior to installing SuccessMaker At Home
software version 1.7.1. Please see our troubleshooting problems page for
instructions on how to do so.
After completing our sign-up procedure, you will be provided with the latest DVD version of the SuccessMaker At Home
software (1.7.1). Enclosed within the envelope will be both a Courseware Setup DVD and a Content DVD:
Before beginning to use SuccessMaker At Home you must install Courseware software using the DVD you have been
provided. Additionally, you need to make sure that your computer has the following programs installed:
QuickTime 7.1.6 or later
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download
Adobe Reader 8.0 or later
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
Adobe Flash Player 9.0 or later
http://www.adobe.com/go/EN_US-H-GET-FLASH
Once you have finished downloading and installing QuickTime, Adobe Reader, and Adobe Flash
Player on your computer, please follow the steps listed below to install the Courseware software on your home
computer:
*Please note that you will need to be logged in to your computer as a user with administrator-level rights in order
for everything to be properly installed. Mac users: Please follow the installation instructions provided with your
SuccessMaker At Home software, contacting us if you are unable
to get things working correctly.
1. 1. Insert the "Courseware Setup" DVD in your computer.
2. If the Courseware Setup installation does not automatically begin, do the following:
a. Click on your Start button and choose Run
b. Type in D:\setup.exe (where 'D:' is the drive letter of the DVD drive you have inserted the Courseware
Setup disc in)
c. Click OK and the installer should begin
3. Click the Next button to continue
*From this point on at various times during the installation multiple window prompts may appear. You should simply
click OK for each and every one.
4. When the installation is complete you will be prompted to restart you computer. Click Finish to do so and your
computer will reboot. (You may remove the Courseware Setup DVD at that time.)
After your computer has restarted, connect to the Internet and go to the below web address:
http://sme.gwinnett.k12.ga.us
*You can also go to the Ivy Creek web site (see link below) and click on the "Login" option shown there. Please note
that you cannot use the SuccessMaker At Home software without an Internet connection.

Now click on the green "Start" button and a separate login window should appear.
After choosing "Ivy Creek Elementary" from the drop-down menu next to "Site:", do either of the following to login:
Student Login
Your child should enter their student ID number and their SuccessMaker password. These are exactly the same as they
use at school, so they should have these numbers memorized. If neither you nor your child know their login User Name
or Password, please contact your child's teacher or send us an email.
After having logged in as a student, your child should be able to navigate their way through the options listed on
their own (as things look and act just the same as they do at school). They should click on the "SuccessMaker
Internet" laptop on the desk. At that point a list of assignments will appear. Select the desired assignment,
being sure to only choose assignments with "At Home" in the name, then click the green "Go" button.
If this is the first time an assignment has been run, the below security warning may appear within your web browser.
Please put a check in the box next to "Always trust content from this publisher", then click Run. That prompt should
then no longer appear when using SuccessMaker At Home on your computer.
When/if you are prompted to insert a disc into your drive in order to be able to start an assignment, insert the
Content DVD that came with your SuccessMaker At Home package and click OK. Within a moment or two the assignment
should then begin.
When finished with an assignment, either go to the File menu and select Exit or click the 'X' in the upper right-hand
corner of your screen (the option you have will depend on the assignment open). If prompted, choose Yes to Exit
(also choosing Yes to end your session if prompted). After a few moments you should be returned to the list of
assignments.
When finished using SuccessMaker At Home, have your child click the "Stop" button in the lower left-hand corner,
then click on the door on the right side of the classroom, clicking OK to logout, to fully exit the SuccessMaker At
Home site.
Parent Login
As a parent you will have been provided your User Name and Password for logging in.
*Note that you can only view reports when logged in using a parent login. You cannot access any of the
SuccessMaker assignments while logged in as a parent. You may only run reports.
After logging in using your parent login, perform the following procedure to run a parent report:
1. Click on the "Universal" button on the right.
2. Then click on the "Generate Reports" option. If presented with another security warning, again put a check in the
"Always trust content from this publisher" box and click Run.
3. Select the report you would like to run and click Next again
4. Click the "Users" option shown toward the upper left-hand corner, then click the "Add Users" option shown to the
right
5. Click Next and after a few moments your child's (or children's) name(s) should appear in on the left. Make sure
their name is highlighted and click Next again (if you would like to run the report for more than one child, hold
down the Ctrl (control) key on your keyboard and click each name you would like to run the report for)
6. Lastly, click the "View Report" option on the right
The report you chose to run should now open in a new window.
*The first time you attempt to run a report you may be prompted to install "Crystal Smart Viewer for ActiveX". Click
the Install button to do so and within a few moments the report should open.
If you would like to print the report click the small printer icon in the upper left-hand corner. Once you have
finished viewing the report, close the report window and click the "Done Viewing Report" option shown.
If you would like to view a different report, click Previous, choose another report, re-select the child(ren) you
would like to run that report for (following the previously provided instructions), and again choose "View Report".
When finished viewing reports, click the "Home" option provided on the right, then click Exit to logout.
