Windows to the Universe District Subscription Options

The Windows to the Universe School District subscription option is designed for school districts where teachers at multiple schools are using the web site and associated classroom materials for their students and want to take advantage of our benefits and services for teachers, including free access to formatted student worksheets, classroom activity descriptions, and supplementary materials - a $230 value, as well as bringing the benefits of membership to their students.

To subscribe, a district authorized representative will need to provide information on the number of schools participating in the subscription. For each school, the number of teachers using each of the different subscription options needs to be provided, as well as the number of classes for each teacher (for Silver, Gold, and Classroom memberships). Use the form below to provide this information.

Discounts

Districts with 6 or more school participating in the subscription receive a 10% discount on the total cost of the subscription. In addition, multi-year district subscriptions receive an additional 25% discount.

Terms of Subscription

District subscriptions are for full year(s), beginning the date the form is submitted and payment is made either through an online payment or purchase order.

Adding Schools to a District Subscription

If you need to add schools to your district subscription during the year, the district's authorized representative should log in to their account with the username and password created during registration. The district's account page includes a link to a form that allows the authorized representative to add schools (note that added schools will expire at the same time as the associated original district subscription expires, and will not be prorated). Subscriptions cannot be cancelled during the term of the subscription for individual teachers or students, schools, or districts, and refunds are not available.

Unlimited District-Wide Subscription

For districts that would like to provide access to all schools, teachers, and students within their district without limitations, please contact Windows to the Universe Subscriptions for special pricing.

Procedure for Activating Your District Subscription

Once your registration and payment have been completed, you will receive a email with links for teachers and students accessing Windows to the Universe to use to register on the site. Each teacher and student (in case of Classroom memberships) will need to use these links to set up their own login and password. Please remember that teachers and students need to use their unique login and password to get access to the benefits and services associated with the subscription.
