Before uploading electronic files to Athena, please batch files by subject and organize into subfolders by unit or chapter. Save as a compressed zip folder with the same title you will use on your order.
To compress files or folders into a ZIP file:
- Open File Explorer (Windows Explorer).
- Select all files or folders you want to compress.
- Right-click on the file(s) or folder(s) > Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
Be sure to fill out the pacing guide with the title and date needed for each set you are ordering. The print page range should be the number of print pages for each section or folder you have uploaded. Don’t forget to count the front & back of worksheets and don’t include blank pages. It’s not necessary to enter each file into the pacing guide. Instead, create a pacing guide row for each section or folder you upload.
Please confirm there are no image files in the folders. The only file types we can accept are PDF, Powerpoint, and Word. Be sure all pages are clear, legible, and have the same page orientation.
