Purpose

Sections are the divisions within a class — Class 5 might be split into 5-A and 5-B, for example. Students, class teachers, and timetables are attached at the section level, so sections are where the day-to-day organization of your school actually happens. Every section belongs to a class that must already exist.

When to Use

  • When setting up a class for the first time and it needs to be split into groups.
  • When student numbers grow and a class needs an additional section.
  • When you need to assign or change a section's class teacher.

How to Use

  1. Open Sections from the Admin Panel.

  2. Pick the class you want to manage, and review its existing sections.

  3. To add a section, tap Add Section, name it (like "A" or "B"), and save — it will appear as "5-A" once linked to Class 5.

  4. To assign a class teacher, open the section and select a teacher from the list.

  5. To move students between sections, do this from the Students module rather than here.

TipKeep section naming consistent across classes (A, B, C) — it makes timetables and reports much easier to scan later.
Common MistakeA section can't be created without an existing class — set up the class first if you don't see it in the list.
