Key records for leadership review
Active academic year and term
The school calendar context for current class, attendance, enrollment, and grade activity. A different active term can change what the application shows and what staff can work on.
Enrollment and subject allocation
Enrollment places a student in a section for a term. A subject allocation connects a teacher, subject, section, and term. Both must be correct before classroom results can be interpreted reliably.
Admissions application
An intake and review record, not a confirmed placement. A leadership decision must still be followed by authorised Staff/Admin work to create or confirm a student placement.
Published school record
A report, grade, attendance record, or official document should be used only after its source data and status have been checked. A dashboard number alone is not enough.
Decision handoffs
- Give School Admins requests involving accounts, roles, terms, enrollment, class setup, schedules, or data correction.
- Give Staff operational follow-up involving family service, admissions coordination, document processing, and approved communications.
- Give teachers classroom follow-up involving attendance evidence, assessment evidence, and learning support.
- Use the school’s safeguarding process for health, identity, disciplinary, or family risk concerns.
What happens next
A clear handoff identifies the record, verified facts, decision, owner, deadline, and any required privacy restriction. It avoids repeating sensitive information in multiple systems.
