School Admin Guide

Every screen a School Admin uses to run the school on Larnup.

The School Admin's home screen — a quick snapshot of students, teachers, today's attendance, and anything waiting on your approval.

Set up and maintain your school's own record — name, address, logo, contact details, and affiliation or board information.

Academic Session

Set your school year's start and end dates and manage the current academic session — the foundation for promotions and yearly resets.

Set up the grade levels your school teaches, like Class 5 or Grade 10, that everything else — sections, timetables, fees — is organized under.

Manage the divisions within a class, like 5-A and 5-B, that students and teachers are actually grouped into.

Maintain the list of academic subjects taught at your school, which get assigned to classes and teachers through the timetable.

Group staff into organizational departments, like Science, Administration, or Sports, for reporting and management.

Add and manage teacher records, assign them to classes and subjects, and view their profiles.

Add and manage student records, assign them to a class and section, and link their profile to a parent account.

Manage parent accounts and their links to student profiles, so families see the right child's attendance, fees, and notices.

Add and manage driver records and their contact and license details — vehicle and route assignment happens from Transport.

Manage non-teaching staff records — administrative, support, and other school staff outside the teaching roster.

The admin's transport management area for setting up vehicles, routes, and drivers as records — separate from live trip tracking.

Create and manage transport routes — a named path made up of ordered stops, with a vehicle and driver assigned.

Manage the pickup and drop points along a route, with their order and expected times.

Maintain your fleet's vehicle records — registration, capacity, and which driver and route each vehicle is assigned to.

See daily and monthly attendance across every class, and understand how teacher-marked attendance flows into parent-facing reports.

The admin's school-wide view of homework being assigned by teachers — oversight, not homework creation.

Set up the master weekly timetable — periods, and which teacher teaches which subject to which class — that teachers and parents both see.

Set up exams — name, term, classes, subjects, and grading scheme — as the first step in the exam lifecycle before scheduling and marks entry begin.

Teachers enter subject-wise marks for each student; admins oversee progress, lock entries, and review before results are processed.

Hall Allocation

Assign exam halls and seating to classes and students for a scheduled exam.

Invigilator Assignment

Assign teaching staff to supervise specific exam halls and sessions.

Generate and publish report cards with ranks and averages once marks are finalized, and manage report card templates.

Set up fee structures, assign fees to students, collect online and offline payments, and manage discounts, late fees, automation, and finance reports.

Allocate hostel rooms to boarding students within room capacity limits.

Run monthly payroll for staff — salary templates, payroll runs, advances and loans, overtime and bonus, payslips, and payroll reports.

Approve or reject staff leave requests and review the school's leave policies and configuration.

Securely upload and manage student and staff documents, such as certificates, report cards, and ID proofs.

Send school-wide or class-targeted notices to parents, students, and staff.

Manage your own notification preferences and history as School Admin — distinct from Bell Management and Reminder Management.

Bell Management

Set up the school's daily bell schedule for period start and end times, and trigger an emergency manual bell when needed.

Reminder Management

Create one-off or recurring reminders — fee due, homework, attendance, exam, payroll — that get pushed to the relevant role's Reminder inbox.

View and respond to support tickets raised by teachers, parents, and drivers, and track their status.

A cross-module reporting hub pulling data from attendance, fees, exams, and other modules into one place.

General school configuration not covered elsewhere — roles and permissions, and third-party integrations.

View your school's own Larnup plan and billing status — set up during onboarding by a Sales Partner or Super Admin.

School Branding

Customize the school's logo, color theme, and app branding as shown to the school's own users.

Export and back up the school's own data for offline record-keeping and safekeeping.
