Set up the classes your school teaches. You will set up the classes in your school, and the school year they belong to.

> **Note:** Sign in to HTT Schools as an administrator of your school to follow these steps.

## Step by step

### 1. Open School setup

Open your school console, and choose School setup from the menu.

*Step 1: Open School setup*

### 2. The classes

The Classes tab lists every class in the school, with its level, building and department.

### 3. The usual set

Starting from nothing? Press Add the usual set, and HTT Schools adds the standard classes from Nursery to Senior Secondary in one go. If your school follows another curriculum — British, American, the I B and others — adopt it on the Curriculum page instead, and its classes are created and linked for you.

### 4. New class

To add a class of your own — say a second Primary 4 — press New class.

### 5. Name and level

Give it the name the school uses, and its level. The level groups classes together on reports.

*Step 5: Name and level*

### 6. In the list

The new class is in the list straight away, ready for students to be placed in it.

*Step 6: In the list*

### 7. Edit a class

To rename a class, or change its level, press the edit button on its row.

### 8. Delete a class

And to remove a class you do not need, press delete. A class that still has students in it should be emptied first.

*Step 8: Delete a class*

### 9. Year and terms

Classes run inside a school year. The Year and terms tab holds the session and its three terms — set these up before you raise fees or take attendance.

### 10. Departments and buildings

Departments and buildings is optional. Use it if your school has more than one site, or groups classes into departments.
