Sign off report cards

The class teacher writes and signs each learner's comment; the head teacher signs the report cards off before they go to guardians.

Time

A report card is signed twice: by the class teacher with their comment, then by the head teacher. Its status moves from Draft to Class teacher signed to Signed off.

  1. Open the comments to write

    On My day, under My class, tap the line such as 16 report card comments to write. Report card comments opens: “Each learner’s results beside your comment. Saving a comment signs it as class teacher.”

  2. Use the school's phrases

    Tap in a learner’s comment box, then tap a phrase under Phrases to add it: “Tap one to add it to the learner you are on.” Type the rest yourself.

    Tick each learner, or the box at the top for the class. Add a comment under Head teacher’s comment (optional, for the ones picked) if you like.

  3. Tap Sign off

    The button counts the cards, such as Sign off 1. Kila says Signed off, and each card’s status is Signed off.

Send to guardians sends the cards you tick. Class PDF, and PDF on each card, give the cards as a PDF file. School today lists the classes with report cards waiting to be signed.

A card already Signed off or Sent cannot be changed. Comments are written by the class teacher, or by someone who runs academics.

Before signing off, check School today: under Marks it lists the teachers still entering, with Remind, which sends them a note.

Next: when the term’s exams are published, send the signed cards to guardians.
