In this article, we'll guide you through Candle's initial setup process.

• On the Welcome page, click Get Started.
• Here we are doing a new setup. (If you have an existing setup, check out this article)
• Provide us with your school’s name then choose Next.
• Please fill out the entire form. In Candle, when we type addresses, we only type the first line and the postal code. The city and state are automatically filled in. When you are completed, choose Next.
• If you need the Canadian code set, choose Canada, then click Next.
• Here we enter the school’s contact information, and yes, every field is required. Then click Next.
• On this form, we enter your contact information, either you as an administrator, or you as a teacher. If you are a teacher, click Yes. On the list provided, check off which groups of students you teach. Then choose Next.
• Finally, add credentials to Candle. We require a username and password to make Candle more secure. Also, on entire school systems, or where you share a PC with a co-teacher, this keeps your grades separate.
