Connect printed school materials to current information
Schools communicate through signs, handouts, newsletters, event materials and classroom resources. QR codes can make those materials easier to update and use.
Common destinations include:
- event information
- registration forms
- classroom resources
- PDFs
- calendars
- visitor check-in
- guest Wi-Fi
- family surveys
- school contact information
Events and family nights
Use the Event QR Code Generator for open houses, performances, fundraisers and family events.
A QR on a flyer or poster can link directly to registration, schedules or event details.
See QR codes for events for more ideas.
Classroom and learning resources
Teachers can use QR codes to share:
- reading lists
- videos
- assignment resources
- class websites
- reference materials
- digital worksheets
If the resource is a document, the PDF QR Code Generator provides a straightforward workflow.
Visitor check-in
A school office can use a QR code to open an appropriate visitor or event check-in process.
Use the Check-In QR Code Generator where the underlying system is suitable for the information being collected.
Do not use unsecured public forms for sensitive student or health information.
Guest Wi-Fi
The Wi-Fi QR Code Generator can be useful for guest networks at events, meetings or community programs.
Dynamic QR codes for reusable signs
A dynamic QR code can make reusable signage more flexible.
For example, a recurring event sign can keep the same QR while the destination changes each semester or school year.
Printed materials
QR codes can appear on:
- flyers
- posters
- newsletters
- event programs
- classroom signs
- front-office signage
Use How to Test a QR Code Before Printing before producing large quantities.
Keep accessibility in mind
Do not make the QR code the only way to access important information. Include a readable URL or another access method when appropriate.
The QR should be an additional convenience, not a barrier.
