Adding a student

Step by step

1Open Students

Open Students from the menu. Every pupil on the roll is listed here, and you can search by name or admission number.

2New student

Press New student.

3The basics

Type the admission number your school gives the child, their first and last name, and their sex. Then press Create student.

4The record

The student now has a record of their own. Open it to fill in the rest.

5Class and details

Press Edit to place the child in a class, and add their date of birth, blood group, home address and any allergies — the sick bay sees allergies in red.

6Family

Next, the Family tab. This is where the parents and guardians go.

7Add an adult

Press Add an adult. If the parent already has another child here, choose Somebody already on file. For a new family, choose A new adult.

8Parent details

Fill in the parent’s name and phone number, and how they are related to the child.

9Gate and calls

Tick May collect this child from the gate, so the gate knows she can take the child home — and tick The first person the school rings. Then press Add to this child.

10Emergency contact

Finally, add an emergency contact — rung in order when a parent cannot be reached.

11Documents and ID card

You can also keep the child’s documents on the Documents tab, and print their school ID card from the button at the top.
