Your dashboard is where you'll spend most of your time. It looks a little different depending on where you are in the campaign — the most useful info is always right at the top.
Before your first campaign
Just a simple "create your first campaign" panel, plus a reminder to connect Square if you haven't already.
Ready to start your first read-a-thon?
A campaign is the time-boxed window for your read-a-thon. Pick the dates, set a goal, import your classrooms, and you're off.
Donors pay directly into your school's Square account. PagePledge never holds the money. Make sure your Square account is fully activated (bank account verified) — until it is, card payments won't go through.
While you're setting up, the dashboard becomes a checklist — Square connected, students added, teachers invited, take-home sheets printed, rewards set. Tick everything off and you're ready for launch day.

Now the dashboard does its real job: showing you how things are going at a glance. You'll see how much you've raised, how many minutes have been read, how many days are left, and which rewards have unlocked. Below that, leaderboards for top students and top classrooms.
Once the campaign closes, the dashboard freezes onto the final results. There's a button to start your next campaign whenever you're ready, and you can always come back to past campaigns from the Past campaigns button.
