School settings
Name, address, contact info — the things that show up on take-home sheets and donor pages.
Your Settings page is for the slow-changing stuff: your school's name, address, and timezone — the things that show up on take-home sheets, receipts, and donor pages.
School name shows up everywhere — on take-home sheets, on receipts, in emails. Pick the name parents would actually call your school.
Address shows up on donor receipts so they know which "Lincoln Elementary" they donated to (handy if there are several in your city). No legal weight, it's just for clarity.
Timezone tells us when "today" is for your school: when each campaign day starts and ends, and when minute logging closes. It starts as your province's usual zone. If you change it, campaigns that haven't started keep their dates.
Try not to rename the school mid-campaign
It's safe to do — donations, take-home sheets, and parent links all keep working. But anyone who has your dashboard open in a tab will see a "page not found" until they refresh. Save big changes for between campaigns if you can.
Settings is also where you manage your Square connection. You can connect it once your first campaign is paid for and approved. Disconnecting asks first, because nobody can donate until you connect again.
Notifications chooses which automatic emails go to your school admins, teachers and families. Each one has a preview.
The campaign card shows where your campaign is (getting ready, live, wrapping up or finished), its schedule in your timezone, and — if you ever need it — a way to move a live campaign on early. Campaigns launch by themselves on their start date, so there's no launch button.
