What to do for Quarter ✌️

As the first quarter comes to an end, use LiveSchool data to reflect and create a goal for the second quarter:

1. Data!

View your School Dashboard to see the top earners, awarders, and behaviors in your school. Customize the timeframe to only include your first quarter dates. Learn how →

2. Set goals

Set a goal for the second quarter. It could be behavior-specific or an overall goal for the school like "every student will earn at least 50 points" or "each grade will earn 500 points for Keeping the Cafeteria Clean."

Common FAQ’s ❓

Here are the most common support questions we’ve received this month:

1. How can I easily view data for a certain group of students?

2. How can I add a new user?
