Follow the standard registration steps below unless your school has asked you to use Microsoft sign-in.
Has your school asked you to use Microsoft sign-in? If your school is set up for this, you can sign in directly to the Desktop Dashboard, Administrators App or School App without registering in the School App first. Follow the Microsoft sign-in guide.

2. Register in the app
Standard registration

- Enter your mobile number. This must match the number held by your school.
- Enter your school email address and create a password.
- Tap Submit.
- Check your SMS messages and email for the verification code.
- Enter the code in the app to complete registration.
Mobile number not recognised? Check that you entered it correctly. If you still cannot register because your number is not listed, ask your school administrator to add or correct your number, then try registering again.
3. Access the apps and Dashboard
Once you have registered in the Main School App, use the same email address and password to sign in to the Administrators App or Desktop Dashboard. The features available to you depend on your school’s permissions.
Main School App
Use your school’s app for school updates and everyday access.
Administrators App
Use the Administrators App for approvals, communication and management on the go, depending on your permissions.
Desktop Dashboard
Go to uniqueschoolapp.ie to access attendance notes, communications, forms, payments and other features available to you.
You can also open the Dashboard in a web browser on your phone.
If your mobile number is not recognised
Only follow this section if you cannot register because your mobile number is missing or incorrect. If registration worked, you can skip this section.
Ask your school administrator to check your staff record and add or correct your mobile number. Once the correct number appears in Unique Schools, return to standard registration and try again.
For school administrators
Tyro schools: The initial sync imports the staff name and mobile number held in Tyro. If the staff record has already been imported, later changes to the name or mobile number must be made in both Tyro and Unique Schools. Updating Tyro alone will not correct the existing Unique Schools record. In Unique Schools, open Administration → Add & Edit Students/Staff → Staff, find the staff member, click Edit, correct the details and click Submit. Check that the correct number appears in Unique Schools before asking the staff member to try again.
VSware and primary schools: Add or correct the details directly in Unique Schools:
- Log in to uniqueschoolapp.ie.
- Open Add & Edit Students/Staff.
- Click Staff in the left-side menu.
- Search by staff name or number.
- If the staff member is listed, click Edit to the right of their record. If they are not listed, click Add Staff.
- Add or correct their mobile number and check their name and school email address.
- Click Submit.
Ask the staff member to try registering again using the mobile number on their record.
Request additional permissions
Staff access may be limited by your school’s settings. You may need additional permission to:
- Post news or notifications without approval
- Access payments
- Use attendance features or other areas of the system
Senior Management must request additional access. Ask a member of Senior Management to email staffsupport@uniqueschools.ie on your behalf.
