Add Student

You will be re-directed automatically to Enrollment Information page since it is mandatory and is equally important for a student to be added in the system. Hence, it is needed to fill in with much attention.

Rolling /Retention Option

This is the most important section for a student in terms of school data rollover & his/her promotion or retention in a grade level.

By default this option is selected as "Next Grade at Current School" which means when you rollover the data to the next school year, the student in 1st Grade would be promoted to 2nd Grade in the same school.

By selecting "Retain" you can retain a student (if failed) to the same Grade level he/ she are in after rollover.

If a Student is graduating then you should select “Do not enroll after this school year”, so that the student’s data are not rolled over to the next grade in the coming year.

If you have a multi-school database, you will have the option to select any of those schools from this dropdown list to move the student directly to another school after rollover.

These options should be selected correctly to get the proper student data in the next school year.

Student Enrollment Section

This section keeps the student's enrollment records.

The Start Date indicates the enrollment date; you can give an enrollment code to describe how the student enrolled in your school; for instance, in the image above as per the code the student has been transferred into this school from another school.

Drop a Student

To transfer a student from your school to another school of the same database, select the drop code as Transferred Out & a pop up window will come up with a few details, fill it up & save the data. This will allow you to transfer the student in another school.
