Setting up a new school

The setup checklist walks a new school through everything needed before the first day. Work down it in order; each step links to the screen that does it.

The order

1. School details — name, logo, address and currency.
2. School year — terms and holidays.
3. Campuses, buildings and rooms.
4. Grades, sections and subjects.
5. Staff and their roles — add or import staff, then give each one a job.
6. Students and guardians — import from a spreadsheet.
7. Fees — the kinds of charges, plans and due dates.
8. Timetable — the periods of the day, then the weekly timetable.
9. Turn on the extra modules you use: transport, hostel, library, canteen and so on.
