Using Scoir: A quick start guide for middle school counselors
Updated
by Cristina Hernandez
Welcome to Scoir – your student guidance platform! We're here to simplify counseling by offering a centralized space for interaction and planning with students. To get started, log into your counselor account and check out the guide below for a quick tour.
💡 Tip: Start with our Counselor and student checklists to help you and your students get ready!
Navigation

- Dashboard
The dashboard is where you'll access actionable insights about your students and see everything you need at a glance. - Students
Students is where you oversee and manage your student roster. Add students and view their profiles, send emails, manage assignments, and more. Customize your roster by applying filters, adjusting columns, and sorting preferences. Save your preferences with Views for quick access and easily export all customized information. Learn how - School Drive
School Drive is your hub for uploading files and links, organizing resources into folders, and setting sharing rules. You can share files with student groups based on class year or counselor assignment, ensuring future students automatically gain access—saving time and reducing repetitive work. Designed for efficiency, School Drive streamlines resource sharing and keeps you organized. Learn how to use School Drive - Comms
Comms provides access to the Email Center for all things email management. Draft, schedule, and monitor messages easily. You can also track email statuses, authors, and recipients, and edit or delete messages before sending. Learn how - Assignments
Assignments brings together three powerful tools—Plans, Tasks, and Forms—to help students stay on track with their college and career goals. Instead of manually assigning individual tasks every year, Plans let you set up a structured roadmap of recurring tasks that automatically roll over for each new grade level. These help ensure every student gets the right guidance at the right time, with minimal effort on your end. Since Plans assign tasks to an entire grade level, they’re perfect for tracking milestones.
But not every task is meant for an entire grade level. That’s where standalone tasks come in—you can create individual Tasks outside of a Plan when you need to assign something to a smaller group of students or even parents.
Need to collect information? Forms let you gather student and parent data, which can be assigned through Tasks for easy completion and tracking.
Together, these tools help you streamline guidance, stay organized, and ensure the right support reaches the right people at the right time.
Want to learn more? Check out Plans, Tasks, and Forms. - Discover
Discover is where you can explore career and colleges. Learn more about colleges by browsing the Programs they offer or exciting content created by them in Posts. Customize your search with filtering and sorting options for a personalized experience. Learn how

Understanding your students’ Scoir experience
It’s important for counselors to understand what students see and do in Scoir. This helps you guide them more effectively and answer their questions with confidence. Here’s what you need to know
How do students get started on Scoir?
Before inviting your students, we recommend introducing Scoir to them. We've prepared a template for you to personalize and share with your school.
Middle school students must be invited to Scoir through a Counselor email invitation.
Once invited:
- Students set a password and log in.
- They arrive on their homepage, where they’ll see any active assignments.
- From there, they can explore careers, colleges, and programs in the Discover section, or begin building their profile in Me.
Checklists to help you and your students get started
To make your onboarding experience even smoother, we’ve created two helpful checklists:
- 📋 Counselor Checklist: A step-by-step guide to help you prepare your students to use Scoir.
- 🧑🎓 Student Checklist: A resource you can share with students to help them navigate Scoir.
Each checklist includes additional helpful resources!
How can I view the student experience?
Counselors can’t log in as students or directly view their accounts. However, you can create a demo student account to explore what students see and how they use Scoir.
👉 Learn how to create a student demo account
Additional resources
We hope this guide was useful in getting you started on Scoir. Here are some additional resources to help manage your account and support students at every stage of their journey.
Although these resources are aimed at different audiences, they still offer valuable insights that can help you familiarize yourself with Scoir.
