Important update
Starting with the 2025–26 school year, formatives will no longer be available within Imagine MyPath. Instead, all formatives will be accessed exclusively through Imagine+ Formatives in the new Imagine+ Assessment product. MyPath customers from the 2024–25 school year who used formatives will receive complimentary access to Imagine+ Assessment, ensuring continued use of formatives for assessment and instructional planning. The process for assigning and reporting on formatives will remain familiar, but access will occur through the Imagine+ Assessment platform.
Learn more about this transition or explore the Imagine+ Assessment Help Center.
