SpringBoard Digital Users — Important Information About Zinc

College Board has decided to wind down SpringBoard. As of August, 2025, SpringBoard Digital users no longer have access to Zinc via SpringBoard Digital.

If you’re looking for a way to get Zinc back, please reach out! We’d love to continue providing Zinc to you and your students.

In fact, Zinc already partners directly with schools and districts. We support single-site and district-wide purchases.

To set up a call about keeping Zinc at your school, please email us at partnerships@zinclearninglabs.com.

For SpringBoard Teachers

Here are two things you can do to keep Zinc:

• Email your principal or other administrators requesting to keep Zinc. Share how it supported your classroom practice. Feel free to use or revise the email template provided below.

• Encourage your colleagues to reach out to your administrators too!

Feel free to pass this message on to any interested members of your team. We look forward to being in touch!

Email Template for Teachers to Send Their Administrators

I have been using Zinc Learning Labs to support my ELA goals. Unfortunately, SpringBoard no longer provides this resource as part of their program. With Zinc, my students:

• Establish their reading levels for differentiated and focused instruction

• Practice critical reading skills that can be applied across content areas

• Learn and reinforce crucial vocabulary

• Exercise close reading strategies

If you want to hear more about what Zinc has to offer, you can read this 1-Page Zinc Overview or connect with the Zinc team at partnerships@zinclearninglabs.com.

Thanks for considering!
