Settings

The Settings section allows you to configure your school's profile, academic calendar and grading, and which notifications go out.

Accessing Settings

1. Click Settings in the sidebar navigation
2. Pick a tab: General, Academic or Notifications

Each tab saves independently — click Save Changes on the tab you edited.

General

School Information

Field	Required	Description
School Name	Yes	Official school name
Principal Name	Yes	The principal's name
Address	Yes	Physical address
Phone	Yes	Contact number
Email	Yes	School email
Website	No	School website
Established Year	Yes	The year the school was founded
School Motto	No	Printed alongside the school name

Brand colour

Brand colour (used on report card accents) takes a hex colour like #1d4ed8, either from the colour picker or typed in. The top stripe, table header and dividers on the report card PDF use this colour.

School logo

Under School logo, click Upload logo (or Replace logo) and pick a PNG, JPG, SVG or WebP file up to 2 MB. It uploads immediately — there's no separate save step. Remove clears it. The logo appears on report cards.

Academic

Academic Year and Terms

Field	Description
Academic Year	Pick from a dropdown of preset years
Current Term	Pick from your existing terms, or type a name if you have none yet
Calendar grain	Term, Semester, Quarter or Trimester
Start Date	When the term begins
Term End Date	When the term ends

Picking an existing term fills its start date, end date and calendar grain for you. Saving updates the academic year and creates or updates that term.

WARNING

The start and end dates matter beyond the calendar: report card attendance only counts days inside the term window. Wrong dates mean wrong attendance on the printed card.

Grading

Field	Description
Grading scale	Your school's grades and the minimum percentage each one needs. Add grade adds a row; the trash icon removes one. Rename any grade — A–F, A*–U, 1–7, Distinction / Merit / Pass, or anything else
Pass Mark (%)	The overall average at which a learner passes on the mark schedule, a whole number from 0 to 100

The Grading scale is what the report card prints next to each subject's percentage. Each grade label can be up to 8 characters and must be unique, and each minimum is a whole number from 0 to 100. You always need at least one row — the trash icon is disabled on the last remaining grade — and the lowest grade must start at 0, so every score maps to a grade. Save sorts the rows from highest minimum to lowest. Pass Mark is separate — it sets the overall pass/fail line, not the per-subject letters.

Notifications

Five toggles, each on or off:

Toggle	What it controls
Email Alerts	Receive important updates via email
SMS Alerts	Receive urgent alerts via SMS
Attendance Alerts	Get notified about attendance issues
Fee Reminders	Receive reminders about pending fees
Parent Notifications	Send automated notifications to parents

Click Save Changes after flipping them.

TIP

A school that hasn't touched this tab yet starts with Email Alerts, Attendance Alerts, Fee Reminders and Parent Notifications on, and SMS Alerts off.

Where Other Settings Live

Some things people look for under Settings are managed elsewhere:

What	Where
Subjects	Subjects in the sidebar
Classes and capacity	Classes in the sidebar
Class timetables	Timetable in the sidebar
Which teacher takes which subject	Open a class → Subjects & teachers
Staff roles and access	Staff in the sidebar
Releasing report cards to families	Reports → Report Cards

Best Practices

1. Configure thoroughly - Fill in every field on the General tab; report cards use most of them
2. Set term dates before the term starts - attendance on report cards depends on them
3. Review periodically - Check settings each term
4. Upload the logo early - it appears on every printed report card
5. Save per tab - each tab has its own Save Changes button

WARNING

Settings changes can affect the entire school. Review carefully before saving, especially the academic year, term dates and grading.
