Welcome to LiveSchool! Awarding points is the heart of the system; it’s how you recognize great behavior and give students real-time feedback.

💡 What is a LiveSchool Point?

LiveSchool Points are a way to recognize students for positive choices. Think of them like a digital high-five; students earn them throughout the day from all their teachers, and the points accumulate like a bank account.

You can give points anywhere: in class, in the hallway, at recess, wherever you see great behavior!

🎯 Step 1: Choose Your Student(s)

There are four easy ways to find the student(s) you want to award:

▶️ Use Your Roster

Click the roster name in the top-left corner.
Pick the class you’re working with.
You can also choose a grade level or another teacher's roster.

🔍 Search for a Student

Click the magnifying glass in the top-right corner.
Type a student’s name to quickly find them; great for the hallway or recess!
You can also search for multiple students to award points to all of them at once.

📋 Select the Whole Class

Click "Select All" on the bottom Action Bar to choose all students in your class.
You can then uncheck any students who aren’t meeting expectations.
You can also click "Deselect" to clear your current selection.

📋 Scan a Student's QR Badge

Click "Scan" in the top-right corner.
Scan the student's QR badge to be brought right to their page; great for giving points on the go!

✏️ Step 2: Choose the Behavior(s)

Once your students are selected, your school’s behavior rubric will appear.
Tap the behavior(s) that match what you saw. You can choose more than one!
If your school allows it, you can also provide the same point multiple times by clicking the "+" or "-" button again.
Then, click Submit to award the points.

💬 Optional: Click "Comment" in the Action Bar on the bottom to add comments, or click the calendar icon or clock icon to change the date/time if needed.

👀 What Happens Next?

Students will see Point Bubbles appear:
- Green = Positive
- Red = Negative
- Blue = Bank Account (Total Balance)
If you add a comment, a little speech bubble icon will appear on their card.

You can review past points at any time by clicking on a student and opening their Timeline.

⚙️ Optional Settings

You can adjust what you see and display:

Click "Edit Buttons" in the top-right to:
- Show only Positives, Negatives, Bank account balances, and/or Comments
- Change the size of the student button.
