How do I prevent my child from clicking out of Anywhere Teacher and going to other sites?
Anywhere Teacher is a contained website that has no external links.
Because of this, the Anywhere Teacher app is safe and secure for child
use. Third-party web browsers, such as Google Chrome and Mozilla
Firefox, may contain alternate filter settings.
How do I search for content on Anywhere Teacher?
Searching for content on Anywhere Teacher can be performed two ways.
The first is by using the search button in the upper right corner of the
home page that looks like a magnifying glass. This is a quick way to
find favorite activities. If you are just browsing, you can use the
icons on the top of the page to narrow down results. For example, click
on the purple “Books” icon to see only our selection of books. Or, flip
the switch from "Activities" to "Grades" and select the green "K" to see
our selection of Kindergarten activities. If you'd like to narrow the
search even further, you can add another category icon from the second
row such as "Addition" or "Science". Get lost? Don't worry, click on the
white half-circle with the blue triangle to open the main menu, click
on the "Home" Button to start over.
How can I print from Anywhere Teacher?
Once you have created an account on Anywhere Teacher, it is possible
to access that account from any compatible device. For example, you
could visit www.anywhereteacher.com on your desktop or laptop computer,
and use the same username and password to log in to your active account.
This would be the quickest way to print the printable worksheets, if
you already have a computer hooked up to a printer.
If you do not have access to a desktop or laptop computer, be sure
that your printer is compatible to print wirelessly from a phone/tablet,
and download the newest version of the printer app.
Why is this game/video/book running slowly?
If you are experiencing any slowdown or loading issues, we recommend
trying the Anywhere Teacher app. Through this official app, we have
maximized activity performance and it is free to download from your
device’s app store or from SchoolZone.com.
If you’re viewing AnywhereTeacher.com on a desktop or laptop
computer, be sure your web browser is up to date. If the browser is up
to date and the activities are still running slowly, you can also use
alternate web browsers such as Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome for
increased performance.

I purchased an app through iTunes / Mac App Store and would like a refund.
All purchases made through iTunes and the Mac App Store are handled
by Apple. School Zone does not have access to your billing information
for such orders. Therefore, Apple is responsible for granting refunds
for those purchases. Here are the steps for requesting a refund:
Go to the iTunes store.

Fill out the corresponding form with as much relevant information as possible.
Apple should respond to your request within several days.
I don't hear any sound when I am playing one of my School Zone apps on my iPad.
This issue results from how the iPad Settings and the small side
switch on the iPad interact with one another. In order to restore sound
to the app, please follow these steps:
On your iPad go to Settings.
Tap General.
Under the heading "Use side switch to:" tap "Lock Rotation."
Exit Settings.
Launch the app again and you should hear the sound.
Should you choose to do so, you are then free to go back and change
the side switch setting back to mute, and it should not affect the sound
in the app.
The School Zone software I have on CD no longer works on my Mac since I upgraded to Mac OS 10.7.

authorized retailer or from SchoolZone.com, please contact technical

The installation program requires Classic to run. I do not have a Classic OS on my Mac.
Previous versions of School Zone software did not have an OS X
installer. On these versions, the program is designed to run directly
from the CD by clicking the icon that has "OS X" at the end of its name.
I have installed the software but the program still asks me to insert the CD.
The newer versions of our software do not require the CD after
installation. If this was a recent purchase (within 90 days) from an
authorized retailer you may be entitled to a replacement if a revision
is available. Email, fax or standard mail a dated proof of purchase, a
note requesting an updated version, your email address, and your mailing
address to:
