Features

Everything ShuleOS does, in plain words.

This is what the system really does today. Every school has the essentials; the modules below are switched on as your school needs them.

Included with every school

There is nothing to switch on for these.

Students, parents and guardians
Student records with photo, admission number, class and full history year by year. Parents and guardians are linked to their children, so one parent sees all of their children under one login.
Classes, sections and academic years
Set up classes, sections, terms and years. At year end, students move up and the old year's marks and report cards stay as history.
Dashboards
A home page for admins, teachers and parents with charts and a short list of what needs attention today.
Roles and permissions
Give the accountant fees, the HR officer staff records and the secretary the front office. Each person sees only what their role allows.
Spreadsheet import and export
Bring in students, parents, staff, classes and more from spreadsheets, with a sample file for each. Print or download lists at any time.
Audit log
A record of who changed what, and when.
