Optional: create saved periods

Use Settings → Saved Periods to create date windows teachers will reuse in reports. Choose ranges that match how your school reviews PE progress, such as Quarter 1, Fall Semester, a fitness testing window, or a monthly challenge.

Review school and staff access

Under Account & School, administrators can review School Info and Teachers. To invite a colleague, select Add Teacher, enter their name and email, and choose Teacher or Admin. Running Kiddos sends links to verify the email and set a password; use Resend Invite while the address remains unverified. Every signed-in user can open Account, but teacher-role users will not see the administrator-only panels.
