SPIRE Up Rostering Methods

This article explains the rostering methods available for SPIRE Up and what each option provides. All methods support the same instructional experience — the difference is how users are added and managed. 

Use the overview below to understand what to expect. 

Important Rostering Consideration 

If your district changes its rostering method, student data will not automatically carry over to the new district instance on our platform. A new instance is created, so districts must plan to extract, preserve, and manage records and reporting before making any changes. 

ClassLink 

Districts using ClassLink can connect SPIRE Up through the EPS Connect app.  

What this provides 

• Automated sharing of users (administrators, teachers, students) 

• Ongoing updates as data changes in your system 

• Flexibility to control which users are shared 

Important to know

• Classes shared through ClassLink are not visible to teachers in SPIRE Up
