GETTING STARTED

Your first steps should feel
simple and calm.

Dreamlight is designed to meet you where you are. Set up the essentials first, then add more only when it is useful.

You do not have to set up everything at once.

Start with what you need for your classroom today. Dreamlight can grow with you.

01

Build your classroom

Start with the basics Dreamlight needs to organize your workspace: your class, grade level, subjects, and teaching-day setup.

02

Choose your teaching setup

Select the curriculum, standards, and grading approach that match how you already teach. Dreamlight should fit your classroom — not the other way around.

03

Connect what you already use

Add the calendars, documents, and resources you want Dreamlight to work alongside. You can keep setup simple and connect more later.

04

Enter your workspace

Once setup is complete, Dreamlight brings your day into one calm place so you can plan, find resources, record learning, and respond to what students need.

BEFORE YOU ENTER DREAMLIGHT

A quick confidence check.

If these four things look right, you are ready. Everything else can be adjusted later in Settings.
