After signing in, you will see "School" at the top of your page, followed by Three tabs.
The next section of this guide goes into detail about what each of these tabs contain.
School Tab
Your School Information tab provides an at a glance view of the Subscriptions and Points available in your account to distribute you your managed teachers and an Account Status. The Account Status will change based on different factors including if all of your teachers are assigned Subscriptions, if you are waiting on an invited teacher to join, as well as If your school subscription will expire soon.
Teachers Tab
The Teachers tab provides an overview of the teachers that have been linked into the school account. They will appear alphabetically. From this page you can add and invite teachers to your managed teachers, add a subscription to all of your teachers, and modify any of your teacher's accounts.
Note: Just because a teacher account is linked to the School Dashboard does not yet mean that they are upgraded to the school subscription. For specific instructions on how to add and upgrade your teachers, please refer to this separate guide: Adding and Provisioning Teacher Accounts with the School Dashboard.
Account Details
Contains the email that is attached to the teacher account, the username of the teacher, and the School name.
Activity
This field shows the last time this teacher logged into their account and how many decks the teacher has added to their Library from the Boom Store. This includes free decks and decks purchased with points. If the teacher previously used Boom before joining the school account it will also include all previously purchased decks. The last login date can be used in conjunction with the Purchased Decks field to gauge a teacher's usage.
Status
This field shows when a teacher account is set to expire. If successfully added and upgraded, that teacher account expiration should read as a green SUBSCRIBED, and the date should match your school’s expiration date on the School Information Tab.
If this field is showing a red EXPIRED message, that means that the teacher previously had a membership that is expired.
A blank expiration date indicates a brand new teacher with no membership applied.
Subscription
This field shows whether a teacher account is upgraded into the school’s subscription. If "starter" is listed, the teachers account is expired and if you see "Boom Plus" the teacher is currently Subscribed to your Schools subscription.
Points & the Manage Points Button
These two fields tie in together. The Points field shows you the current points balance of a teacher.
The Manage Points button allows you to assign or remove points to/from a teacher account. Just type in the number of points you'd like to transfer from your School Dashboard into the teacher's account.
To remove points, simply use a - sign before the amount. You can always check your total number of school points in your School Information tab.
Modify your Teachers Accounts
Now your teachers can be managed from the Drop down menu on the right side of the chart!
Reset Password will allow you to send a reset password link to the teacher.
Edit Teacher Info allows you to change the email nickname and username for an account. To save your changes, you must assign a username if there isn't one. An error when entering a new email or username usually means that the email or username is already in use on a different account.
Transfer Account allows you to assign an account to a new teacher while removing any personal information from the old teacher. The new user will keep access to the account's library and student data. This function only works when the new teacher doesn't already have an account. For help to reassign an account to an existing teacher please contact [email protected].
Promote to Delegate allows you to promote a teacher to manage your School Dashboard. For more information about school Delegates, check out For School Admins: Delegate School Dashboard Access
Release Account allows you to Remove a teacher account from your Dashboard and will release the account and its contents to the teacher, for more information, check out School/Org Admins: Removing Teachers From the School Dashboard
Subscription Tab
The Subscription tab contains your School Information, including the school name, School District, and City the school is located in and your Account Stats including any undistributed points, subscriptions, and when your subscriptions expire. 
A point distribution history is available as well as your purchase history. You can also request new estimates here using the "Request New Estimate" button.
