Few Suggestions #19
Description
Hi Neil,
Awesome job there.
Being a teacher for 15 years and having used quite a few management system (PowerSchool, Manage Bac), here is a few suggestions (time permitting):
** If it is for school, you may want to add parents login. Create new fields for mother, father, guardian + all contact details => then there should be able to login and see schedule, attendance, grading of their kids
**Create new predefined roles with specific permissions for each: Principal, Curriculum Coordinator, counsellor, Head of Department, etc.
** Attendance module with attendance reports for teachers, students and parents. Make the attendance options open as each school has its own preferences. For instance: Present, Absent, Sick, Excused, Field Trip, Late, etc. Possibility to create new options
*** Create report with amount of absences, late arrivals, etc.
*** Ability to have automatic notification to parents, counsellor, etc. in case of absence, late arrival, etc.
***Automatic daily summary attendance report of whole school or sections for principal, Head teacher, etc.
** A Grade Books. Probably the most important one. Should be viewable by teachers, students and parents. That's a tricky one as it can become quickly very complicated ....
**Assignment can be of type homework, project, quiz, tests, exam, etc. (Possibility to create new options)
*__Assignment should reflect on students calendar (viewable by parents and teachers)
** Assignment can be graded out of points (out of 20 or 100 or whatever) or letters (A, B, C, etc.) - More american system. Grading can also be done just with comments (text field)
**Possibility for students to upload their assignments (using file manager system)
** Create reports for a subject, for a whole semester, etc.
Sorry I have no JS or Python experience and I would be happy to test or offer any other help needed.
