Schoolyi

Roster, guardians, certificates, and family portals

Students & families

Keep complete student records, link parents and guardians, issue certificates, and give families a clear portal view of fees, grades, and attendance, all tied to class placement and the active academic year. Student information is the hub everything else connects to. Schoolyi maintains roster data, sibling links, promotions, and guardian relationships so admissions, fees, transport, and classrooms always reference the same child. Families log in once to follow every child; staff issue transfer and bonafide certificates without retyping details.

Questions, answered

Straightforward answers for visitors evaluating the product.

Who typically owns Students & families day to day?+

Admissions office, Class teachers, Parents run daily workflows in this module while leadership reviews dashboards and exports when needed.

Assign a workflow owner and test it with a representative staff account before the busy part of the term. Verify that approvals, coverage details, and sensitive fields remain within the intended role.

How does Students & families connect to the academic calendar?+

Dates, working days, and class structure flow from the shared calendar so downstream modules do not maintain parallel date lists.

Set the academic calendar before enabling dependent workflows, then test one holiday and one working-day exception against the resulting attendance or exam view. Keep the school’s local policy as the authority for edge cases.

Can we phase this module after go-live?+

Schools often launch admissions, roster, and fees first, then add this module when the foundation data is stable.

Choose the next phase only after the team has reconciled one complete operating cycle. Record the data, role, calendar, and support dependencies before widening access.

Is training required for every role?+

Role-scoped workspaces show only the tasks each team needs. Most schools run a short coordinator session plus self-serve docs.

Assign a workflow owner and test it with a representative staff account before the busy part of the term. Verify that approvals, coverage details, and sensitive fields remain within the intended role.
