What's on the school dashboard?
Reference · Updated
The school dashboard covers every class at your school this school year (July 1 to today). Open it from Dashboard → Your places → your school's card (bookroo.com/dashboard/pod-orgs/…). The sidebar on the left has its sections, and, for the school's admins, Ask Marian at the bottom. If you belong to more than one school, click the school's name at the top of the sidebar to switch.
| Section | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Home | This week against last: the share of students who read, books finished, quizzes passed, and books per student this school year. A chart of books finished each week. Needs a nudge: classes with no reading in 14 days, classes where fewer than a quarter of students read, and classes with no students yet. Admins also see how many students aren't in a class, with See students. Then every class, grouped by grade, most reading first. |
| Classes | Every class with its Grade, Teacher, Students, Read this week, Books, Per student, Quizzes, Pass rate and Last used. Click a class to open it. Admins add a class here with Add class. |
| Teachers (admins) | Who has access, and at what level. See Add teachers to your school. |
| Students (admins) | Students who signed in but didn't match a class. See Who are the Unassigned students? |
| Challenges (admins) | Reading challenges across several classes, and your school's teams (houses). See Student teams. |
| Rewards | Challenge prizes students have earned that someone still needs to hand out. Custom rewards are handed out in each class. |
| Reports (admins) | A spreadsheet of reading and quizzes for any dates and classes. See Download a reading report. |
| Settings (admins) | Your school's name, website, school code and license, and the switch that turns the eBook Library on or off for every class, and one for Marian. With the eBook Library off, no student at your school sees it or can open its books. |
Who sees what
- School admins and owners see every class, every section, and every student's rewards.
- Teachers with View access to the school see the school's totals on Home, but only their own classes in the lists below, and only their own students' rewards.
Good to know
- A student "read" when they logged pages or minutes, or finished a book, that week (Monday to Sunday). It's the same count as each class's Home.
- Email teacher opens your own email app with a short note to the class's teacher, ready to edit. Bookroo doesn't send anything.
- Past years: use School year at the top of Home or Classes to look back. A class belongs to the year it started in.
- Ended classes drop off this year's lists once their End Date passes. To bring one back, extend its End Date (My class disappeared).
- Ask Marian about the school (admins): "Which classes need a nudge?", "How is each grade doing?", "Compare periods 2 and 4". She sees class numbers, never students' names.
