Accessing the Sonday System 2 (SS2) Digital Download

 Notes

  • This article applies to print-only customers. If you have access to the online version of Imagine Sonday System, use the media resources included in the educator platform instead.
  • Prior to 2024, the digital resources included with the print version were called the Media Kit and were delivered via a flash drive that was included in the physical kit. As of 2024, flash drives are no longer included in the box of materials; the Media Kit resources are now accessed as described below.

Included with your Sonday System 2 (SS2) materials is access to digital resources that you download by visiting a URL and inputting a code. There are three types of files—PDFs for document files, MP3s for audio files, and MP4s for videos.

To download your digital resources:

  1. Locate your Learning Plan Book in your physical/printed materials.

  2. Turn to the copyright page in the front of your book. Look for the URL and the Access Code at the top of the page.
