Step 1: Take a quick tour of the Circool dashboard

Start by getting familiar with the updated Circool dashboard. The layout has been refreshed, but the goal is the same: help your team move through the school day with confidence.

This quick tour will show you where to find your main tools, modules, school selector, People records, and Guest Management options.

Step 2: Get your front desk Circool-Ready

Next, take a few minutes to make sure Circool, your badge printer, webcam, iPad, Chromebook, and front desk setup are ready before guests and students arrive.

This is the best place to confirm your printer, test your webcam, review your school settings, and make sure your team is ready for the new school year.

Step 3: Print updated Guest Check-In Posters

If your school uses QR code posters for guest check-in, you will need to print the updated version.

These posters can help first-time guests, returning guests, and parents who still need to activate or finish their Circool account.

Step 4: Set up self-service kiosks

If your school uses an iPad, Chromebook, or other self-service device in the front office, it will need to be enrolled before guests can use it.

The kiosk setup guide walks you through enrolling the device and assigning it to the correct badge printer.

You’re ready for the school year!

If you completed the steps above, your Circool environment should be ready to go.

School Admin Help Guides

Guest Management

Review the Guest Management guide that matches your school setup.

Student Check-In and Check-Out

If your school uses Circool for student check-in, student check-out, or attendance writeback, review these guides before the school year gets fully underway.

What happens next

After you finish these steps, your front desk should be ready to use Circool for Guest Management, check-in posters, kiosks, and student check-in/check-out if your school uses those features.

Keep the school admin help guides handy so your team can quickly review a workflow when needed.
