What is a reset?
A reset is the process of preparing returning customers for a new school year. It allows for new assessment windows to be set and for growth and usage reports to display correctly. Students are advanced to their new grade level* before rostering occurs in the new school year.
Caution
Resets must occur at the district/site code level, which triggers a concurrent data reset for all schools within the organization/site code. The selected reset date applies to all products listed at the top of this article simultaneously.
All automated nightly import syncs will be automatically paused on the reset date and Imagine Learning will turn the syncs back on when your reset is complete. Ensure your Student Information System (SIS) is updated for the upcoming school year before the reset occurs.
When a reset occurs:
- Student accounts are retained
- Each student's rostered grade level is advanced by 1 grade (*except for students in Grade PreK)
- Classes/groups are deleted
- Educator accounts are retained

Recommendation
Imagine MyPath, Imagine Science Corner, and Imagine Purpose customers: As a best practice, we recommend downloading an official copy of the 2023-24 school year data prior to your reset. Even though student data is retained, since classes are not, student data will no longer be organized by prior school year classes if you pull previous school year data from the Cumulative Performance report during the 2024-25 school year.
Reset Window
For the 2024 reset, customers have been automatically assigned one of 3 default dates:
- Friday, July 19
- Friday, August 2
- Friday, August 16
The yellow banner at the top of the Product Portal lets you know which date your organization has been assigned.
If the 2024 date doesn't suit this year's needs, District Administrators* have the option to change their assigned date to any non-holiday weekday between June 1 and October 1. The date selected must be at least 2 days in the future.
The reset date applies to all products listed at the top of this page. Different reset dates for different products in the Literacy/MyPath suites are not allowed.
*Schools that do not have a corresponding District Administrator account should reach out to their CSM or Imagine Learning Product Support for assistance.
Changing your reset date
Recommendations
- Leave the reset date as assigned if your school year and summer school session both end before this date. If your school year and/or summer school session end after your assigned date, select a date soon after they both conclude (but before your new school year begins).
- Allow at least 2 weeks between your reset date and when you want to start using the products. This will give you sufficient time to roster your students.
- Districts that want a reset date before 6/1 or after 10/1 should contact their Customer Success Manager (CSM).
- If your organization also uses Imagine Math and/or Imagine Math Facts, set the same reset date across both the Literacy/MyPath suite and the Imagine Math suite. This facilitates a uniform experience for both teachers and students.
To change the reset date:
- In the yellow banner at the top of the Product Portal, click Change Reset Date.
- In the calendar, available reset dates are in black, while weekends and holidays are in gray. Select a new available date and click OK.
Caution
The reset date applies to all Literacy/Galileo K–12/MyPath suite products in your Product Portal and all organizations/schools within your site code.
- The schools affected by your new reset date are listed. Review them and click Save.
The new date appears in the banner at the top of the Product Portal. All educators in your organization will see the new date when they log in to the Product Portal, but only District Administrators will be able to to change it. - After the reset takes place, the text in the yellow banner will change to "Your organization was reset on (date)." The banner will display for two weeks after the reset for all teachers and administrators.
