SchoolFox 9.6.0

The next school year is sure to come – and the new class register is already here!

NEW

Constantly searching for a pen, “lost” inserts, sending a pupil to fetch the class register – we all have our memories of the class register from our school days.[tag_new]With the revised digital class register, many of the associated hurdles are now a thing of the past.

NEW

Record entries and document the lesson progress of a week for your subject clearly and neatly at any time. You can also note homework.

NEW

Handed out teaching materials can be uploaded as attachments. Or record a general comment, such as holidays, school-autonomous days or general occurrences.

NEW

Absences are also documented and displayed across classes. And if someone gets sick, substitutes can also be granted access to the class register.

NEW

Admins have read access to all class registers in your school at any time and can review and confirm them.

NEW

And at the end of the school year, the class registers can be neatly exported as PDFs and put into safekeeping, thus also fulfilling the documentation requirements.

For the parents and students we don’t have anything this time, as the class register is only accessible to school staff – we wish you, as well as all the teachers and admins, a great start to the summer from our FoxBurrow!
