Dashboard and Widgets

Hi, I'm Tyler. 

You use Educator Access+ every day, but do you know how much personalization is possible? 

Don't settle for default settings. What you see and how you see it is totally up to you! 

Let's take a closer look. 

With widgets, you can personalize your Skyward dashboard, so you can view information that is important to you and quickly and easily access the tools you use most. 

To get started, click on Select Widgets in the Jump to Other Dashboards box in the upper left. 

Search through the available widgets and select any you'd like to add to your homepage. 

If you don't already have Teacher Quick Access selected, that one's a must. 

When you're done, click Save. 

Teacher Quick Access gives you one-click access to your gradebook, as well as attendance entry and information for every class you teach. 

You can further customize this widget, or any other widget, by hovering over the arrow circle in the upper right corner and selecting Options. 

To the left, you'll also see the icon for deleting a widget. 

If you'd like to change the layout of your homepage, simply click on a widget's title and drag the box to a new location on your screen. 

You're not a cookie-cutter person, so don't settle for cookie-cutter technology. 

Work smarter with Skyward's dashboards and widgets. 

Stay tuned for more Quick Hits for Teachers, coming soon.
