Basic Training - App/Admin. Dashboard

Total video length: 1 video, 15 minutes

This video gives you a quick tour of the SchoolNow mobile app from a staff or parent’s perspective, then takes you behind the scenes into the admin dashboard. You’ll see how easy it is to manage quicklinks, post messages, and add website content that instantly syncs to both your site and app feed—keeping families connected and informed.

How do I log in for the first time?
After you have downloaded the app and launched it for the first time, add either your email address or phone number on file with the school, and you will be sent a special login code. Once the proper code is entered, access to the app is granted. No passwords to remember!
Is a password required?
No. We make it easy to access the portal simply by matching the email address or phone number associated with your student on file at the school. We'll then send you a 6-digit code (either by email or text, based on how you are authenticating) to be entered tom complete the authentication process.
How does SchoolNow know my information?
Your information is held in the schools Student Information System (SIS), and the app and portal can reference that information securely.
How do I change communication preferences?
Launch the app, click the Gear icon located at top-left. On this screen, you will see your name, along with your student(s) and the contact info we have on file. Next to each phone number or email address, you are able to specify what type of notifications you get for each.
How can I update my contact information?
From the mobile app or desktop version, click on Contacts under Setting (Gear icon) to access your preferences. From this screen, you are able to switch on or off your messaging, choose whether you prefer voice or text, and update/change your phone number or email address.
I don't see my child's information when I login in. What should I do?
The first time you launch the app, we take your through a data verification process that allows you to review and confirm the data we have on file is accurate. You can tell us if any of your contact information is wrong as well as confirm your students, and even tell us if one of your students is missing. You can also contact the school directly to correct anything. The app will then see the updated information made at the school.
Is my personal information protected?
Absolutely! We take privacy very seriously. SchoolNow is FERPA certified and has passed all requirements related to the access, transfer and storage of data. View our privacy policy here: [link]
Are the app features the same as the web version?
The app consolidates information significantly from the website. It allows the school to push important communications, and direct you to frequently-accesses quick links and other timely information.
Why aren't messages being delivered to me?
If you are not receiving messages, it is possible that your user preferences are not up to date. Once logged in, navigate to 'settings' to double check your contact information. If you cannot login, there may be an issue with the data that was provided to your school. Please fill out this issue form to proceed.

What is the difference beween general and urgent messages?
General messages are used for announcements, reminders, and links to important events and information. Urgent messages are used for critical alerts and updates (including voice calls and push notifications). Overuse of urgent messaging could result in parents overlooking important information.

Do I need to download the SchoolNow app to receive messages?
You do not need to download the SchoolNow app to receive email and text notifications from your school. However, to get immediate push notifications and full access to your school's feed and information, downloading the app is necessary.
How do I / can I opt out of text, email, or phone messages?
In your user preferences, you have the option to opt out of text, email, or mobile communication. Please note however, that urgent communications (such as a fire, lockdown or another school emergency) may be sent regardless of your settings.
Can I add a relative or guardian to receive messages and alerts from my child's school?
Yes. Keep in mind that if an email address or phone number is not already in the schools system, you cannot access the app or portal. The school either needs to add you first... or, a family member who already has access can add your information in their account. Those communication preferences can be adjusted independently. SchoolNow is FERPA (Family Educational Rights Privacy Act) certified to comply with family privacy laws.
What if I have children in separate schools in the district?
By default, you are only sent or shown the communications and information associated with the district and schools your student(s) attend. SchoolNow will recognize your children and their appropriate schools.
