Before you begin
Have your invitation or sign-in link. Use the email address that received access and connect to the internet.
Steps
- Open the newest invitation email link. Check the school name and invited email.
- Follow the invitation page: create and confirm a password for a new account, then select Activate My Account. If asked to use an existing Sundial account, sign in with its current password and select Accept Invitation.
- After acceptance, follow the school-selection screen. If prompted to sign in, use your invited email and password.
- Confirm the school name before editing. If the first-login setup opens, complete the offered setup steps before using the regular dashboard.
- Use the dashboard navigation for available Schedules, Calendar, Events, Announcements, Notifications, Athletics, Resources, Users, Website, and Settings sections.
- Use View App, View Kiosk, or View Website to inspect the school's public experience; these open a new tab.
- Start with school contact information, then learn the Website draft workflow and user-access controls.
Expected result
You can reach your assigned school's dashboard and recognize its main sections.
Troubleshooting
An existing usable account added to another school keeps its password and may receive access without a new password-setup step. Expired or cancelled links need a fresh invitation. If signed in as another person, sign out before reopening the email link. Missing sections may reflect your role, school setup, or disabled features. Do not share invitation links or passwords.
