Schedule Management In SchoolFront

SchoolFront does not yet support the generation of an optimal master school schedule based on requirements / parameters defined by the school. Currently SchoolFront can be used to track schedules defined by the school. Once a school’s schedules are defined in SchoolFront it is easy to view digital student and teacher schedules or print schedules.

Generally speaking SchoolFront Schedule Management works like this:

1. Create a master course catalog with a set of master courses.
    
2. Define rooms for your school and make the rooms available for course scheduling.
    
3. Define time-blocking (periods) for your school.
    
4. From each master course in the catalog create as many sections of the course as necessary. There may be one or more sections. Typically each section is associated with (1) a teacher, (2) a day/time, and (3) a location.
    
5. Once sections are defined enroll students in the sections.
    
6. Once a student is enrolled in all appropriate classes you can view/print the student’s schedule as well as easily make edits to the schedule.
