Moving your school from paper to software, one step at a time

Moving from registers and spreadsheets to software works best in a planned order: the school's structure first, then people, then the daily routines. Most schools can do it over a holiday, and start the new term on the new system.

Set up the school's structure

Enter the session and its terms, the classes and arms, and the subjects each class takes. Everything else, from attendance to report cards, hangs on these.

Bring in people from your spreadsheets

Import students, guardians and staff from the spreadsheets you already keep, then check a few records by hand. Fix names and phone numbers now: parents' messages and fee reminders depend on them.

Start with one routine

Begin with attendance, because teachers use it every day and learn the system quickly. Add fees and results once the register is running smoothly.

  1. Set up the session, terms, classes and subjects.
  2. Import students, guardians and staff, and check the records.
  3. Invite staff, then parents.
  4. Start taking attendance in the app on the first day of term.
  5. Set up fees for the term, then results before mid-term.
