A school entrance display that welcomes every visitor
Parents, substitutes, vendors and new families all come through the main entrance, often while waiting to be buzzed in. A display there tells them what your school values before anyone says a word.

Why it matters
Entrances are often plain or cluttered with flyers
Most front entrances have a sign-in window, a few framed photos and a bulletin board covered in flyers. Visitors wait with nothing to look at, and the school’s achievements sit in a trophy case down the hall. One well-placed display can greet people and show them the best of your school.
Ideas for School Entrance Display

How it works with Hardware
School Entrance Display, step by step.
Three steps
Look at the entry sightlines
Send a phone photo of the entrance and tell us where visitors stand while they wait. Rocket suggests a format and placement and prepares a free installation mockup.
Confirm the wall and connection
Facilities checks wall construction, cable routing and accessible placement, plus a nearby outlet and network connection, before anything is ordered.
Go live with your first content
Connect the display and launch the experience you chose, interactive history or timely messages. Office staff update content from the drag-and-drop editor without walking to the screen.
Setups vary by school; your demo confirms what yours will use.

School Entrance Display tips
Keep the security view clear
Place the display where it does not block the view from the front office window or slow people heading to sign in.
Write for a 30-second wait
Visitors at the entrance often have less than a minute. Lead with photos and short headlines, and save long profiles for those who choose to tap.
Balance athletics with academics
The entrance speaks for the whole school, so give equal room to arts, academics, service and staff.
Refresh it before big events
Update the welcome content before open house, graduation and parent conferences, when the most first-time visitors arrive.

Questions
School Entrance Display questions
Rocket helps you match a wall-mounted touchscreen, kiosk or WonderWall to your entrance and provides the software that runs on it. You can review placement, mounting, power and connectivity before ordering, and get a free mockup of the space.
If you want visitors to explore people, years and stories, a compatible touchscreen makes that possible in History Showcase. If the screen will mostly show messages to people walking by, Digital Signage may be enough, and your demo confirms which fits.
Possibly. Hardware from Rocket is optional, so share the screen’s make and model and any connected player. Rocket checks whether it can be used for the experience you have in mind.
Nothing is required for a first conversation. A phone photo of the entrance, details on any existing screen and a target date all help, and pricing is quoted for your school’s setup.
