Notices, student diary and your leave
Announcements
- Announcement lists school-wide and class notices. Unread ones are flagged on the dashboard.
- If your administrator has allowed it, you can post a notice to your own class arm: Announcement → Add, choose the arm, title and message, attach a file if needed. Parents see it immediately and get a push notification.
Student diary
Use the diary for a note about one student that the parent should see the same day — behaviour, health, missing books, praise.
- Go to Student diary → Add, choose the student, a category (Behaviour, Health, Academic, General) and write the note.
- Save. The parent sees it in the portal/app under Diary; you see any reply.
Keep notes factual and brief. Do not include information about other students.
Timetable
Timetable shows your weekly periods across all arms. If two periods overlap, tell the administrator.
Apply for leave
- Go to Leave → Apply leave, choose the leave type, dates and reason, and attach a document if required (e.g. medical report).
- The administrator approves or rejects; you are notified, and approved leave shows in Leave → My leaves.
Staff attendance
If your school uses QR staff attendance, open Staff attendance in the app and scan the code at the gate on arrival and departure.
Teacher Copilot (SEMS AI)
Where enabled, click SEMS AI at the bottom-right. It can:
- Draft lesson plans and schemes of work for your subject and class.
- Generate assessment questions with marking guides at a chosen difficulty.
- Analyse your class results ("Which topics did JSS 2 B struggle with in Mathematics?").
- Suggest report-card remarks for your arm.
- Answer "how do I…" questions about SEMS.
Everything it writes is saved under Drafts for review for you to edit; it never enters marks or sends messages on your behalf, and every request is logged.
