How it works

Follow the handoffs, not just the feature list

A clear sequence makes ownership, exceptions, and the next system action visible.

  1. 01

    Close the year

    Record reports, corrections, outstanding approvals, and archive decisions.

  2. 02

    Build the next year

    List terms, holidays, classes, subjects, grading, and fee dates.

  3. 03

    Promote carefully

    Mark expected moves and exceptions for leavers, transfers, and new sections.

  4. 04

    Test outputs

    Check one full student journey before reopening all staff and family workflows.

Practical artifact

Leave with something your team can use

Copy these checkpoints into a kickoff, vendor demo, or readiness review.

  • Close-down tasks
  • New-year setup
  • Promotion exceptions
  • Smoke-test matrix

Build your copyable checklist

This tool stores nothing and is for planning only. Do not enter student or family data.

Product truth
