🎉 Get Started with Your Personalized Connect Homepage

The new dynamic Homepage is a personalized dashboard that automatically adjusts based on your role in SchoolStatus Connect.

Instead of showing the same information to everyone, your homepage highlights what matters most to you, whether you’re a district administrator, teacher, staff member, or guardian/student.

This turns your homepage into an action hub, helping you quickly find what needs your attention without having to dig through announcements.

How It Works

When you log in, the system automatically:

1. Identifies your role: Your highest permission level determines what you see (for example, District Admin vs. Teacher).
2. Highlights actionable items: The “Alerts & Attention” section surfaces anything that needs immediate action.
3. Displays instructional dashboards with key metrics: A “Summary Metrics” section gives you a snapshot of activity from the past 7 days.
4. Shows ongoing activity: View upcoming events in “Activities” or scroll through the Announcement Feed as usual.
5. My Places provides quick access to the locations and contexts connected to your account, such as your district, school, classes, and students.
   Note: My Places is designed for navigation only. It does not filter or change the content displayed on your homepage.

Why This Matters

Previously, all users saw the same Announcement-heavy homepage. This made it harder to find important tasks. Now, your homepage is tailored to you, so you can:

• Spend less time searching for information
• Quickly act on what needs attention
• Stay engaged with tools like Conversations and Activities

FAQs

Q: Do I need to set this up?

A: No setup required. Your homepage updates automatically based on your role.

Q: What if I have multiple roles?

A: The system prioritizes your highest permission level. For example, if you’re both a Teacher and a Guardian, you’ll see the Teacher dashboard.

Q: Can I customize my homepage?

A: Not at this time. The layout is automatically optimized based on your role.

Q: Will my homepage update automatically if my role changes?

A: Yes! When your role changes, the dashboards will update automatically to match your new role and only show you information that’s relevant to it.
