A calmer term opening: the administrator’s checklist

Prepare periods, classes, staff, invoices and portals before families return.

Published 11 August 2026 · SchoolPora product team

Close the previous period

Approve final marks, publish required reports and record promotions before moving learners. Keep exceptions visible rather than silently changing history.

Prepare structures first

Open the new term, check class and subject assignments, then enrol learners. This order prevents invoices, timetables and attendance from pointing to the wrong period.

Test the family journey

Use one test guardian account to verify the invoice, receipt, attendance and report-card experience on a phone.

Set a support route

Tell staff where to report access issues and what reference details to include. Never ask them to share a password or OTP.

Prepare your own SchoolPora rollout

Create a private 30-day workspace or request a walkthrough for your team.
