    How do I set up the school year and semester intervals?

To configure a new school year, go to the "Gradebook" section and click the gray "Configure" button on the top right.

To define a new school year, click the "Add school Year" button.

Now you will have to enter the name of the school year and the name of the semester (if it is a single semester/module for the whole year, then fill in the school year in both fields), after which the interval for that semester/module must be set and finally click on " Save".


How do I add grades/marks and absences for one or more students?

To add grades/absences, access 'Gradebook' > select the class and subject for which you want to add grades/absences using the filters above and click the gray button 'Apply' to apply the filters.

To mark the attendance of more students from the class, click the green button "Class Attendance".

A window will open with a calendar on the left and the list of students from that class on the right.

First, select the day for which you want to take attendance in the calendar on the left, or do not select anything if you need to take attendance for the current day (the current day is pre-selected). Then, select the students on the right (or click on 'select all' to select them all) and click on the 'present' or 'absent' button.

To add grades to the class, click on the red button "Class Grading". The same window will open with the calendar on the left and the students on the right. Select the day for which you want to add the grades, from the right select the students and click on the grade/report immediately below the list of students, and finally click "save" to save the settings.

Optionally, you can also add a note before saving the grade in the remarks field located immediately below the grade/report.

After you click on "Class Attendance" or "Class grading", in the calendar on the left, you will be able to select ONLY the days when that subject is scheduled in the "Activity calendar".

If you want to add a grade/absence for a single student, there is also the option to click on the gray round button with a plus in the middle located next to the students under the 'Grade' and 'Absences' columns. After you click that button, the same windows as in the pictures above will open, but only the student you clicked on will be automatically selected.

How do I add the grades of a student transferred from another institution?

Attention: In case we want to add the grades for the period prior to the child's enrollment, you will need to change the child's registration date in the institution.

To see how this is done, please access this link: How to change the registration date (first day of attendance) of a child?

Attention: In case the student has one or more grades for an activity or more that are not found in the timetable of the class they transferred to, it is necessary to add the subject to the timetable of the class on the respective days.

To see how to add subjects to the timetable, see here: How do I add a subject/activity?
