Sidekick knows you by the email address your Sidekick service is assigned to in Wix. There is no separate Sidekick password for staff and never has been, and nothing that happens on this page can add anybody to that service.

Prefer a link by email? The staff door sends one. It is the same sign-in and the same session; it comes back there rather than here.

Sign in and this screen lists the classrooms you teach, with what is running in each. Pick one; there is nothing to type and no address to remember.

A link with a classroom in it — ?cohort=… — still opens straight into that room, so a bookmark or a link from a colleague works as it always did. It is a shortcut now rather than the way in.

A cohort id in an address proves nothing either way. Every route checks the classroom against the CohortTaughtBy edge for your own session (Rule T.2.1), so a room that is not yours comes back refused and is shown as refused.

This one is the hour: the room map, the help queue, the two gates, the clock, and the teaching notes for the lesson in front of you.

The Stage is what the room looks at — a display target of its own rather than a mirror of this laptop (Rules A.3.9, E.1.4). It needs its own sign-in when you open it in a new window, and it says so.

The bench is the work between the hours: the chapter for each child, the plan this classroom follows and what changing it would cost, and who may stand in the room when you cannot.
