How to set up register classes

The Classroom Management module is used to define the physical and administrative spaces within a school. Administrators can create classrooms, designate them as register classes, link them to staff members, and perform bulk swops between rooms.

My School > Staff > Classrooms

How do I create a new classroom?

Before creating a room, check both the Classrooms used in a year and Classrooms NOT used sections to confirm the room does not already exist.

  1. Click Create Classroom and enter a unique Classroom Number. The system will not allow duplicate numbers.

  2. Indicate if the room is a Register Class in the current year:
     • Yes: The room hosts a specific grade group for administrative purposes (e.g., Gr 1A).
     • No: The room is a specialist facility (e.g., Library, Science Lab, Computer Room).

  3. If Yes, complete the Register Class details:
     • Grade: Select from the dropdown.
     • Register Class Reference: Enter the suffix (e.g., “A”, “Blue”). Keep under 10 characters if using Principal Timetabler.
     • Tuition Language: Select the specific language for Dual Medium, or “More than one language” for Parallel Medium.
     • Register Teacher: Select from the dropdown. Only staff not already assigned to another register class will appear.

  4. Click Add.

How do I swop classrooms?

Use this for bulk administrative changes, such as when two teachers move rooms:

  1. Select the radio button next to a class and click Swop Classrooms.

  2. Select the second classrooms involved in the swop.

  3. Choose which elements to swop: Teachers, Learners and/or Register Class References. If all three are set to No, only the physical room numbers will change.

  4. Click Continue.

Frequently asked questions

Why is a teacher not appearing in the Register Teacher dropdown?

A teacher only appears in the list if they are loaded in the Staff module and are not currently assigned to another register class. Check whether the teacher is already linked to a different room.

What is the difference between Classroom Number and Register Class Reference?

The Classroom Number refers to the physical room (e.g., Room 12). The Register Class Reference refers to the learner group (e.g., “A”). On reports these combine to show “Grade 1 A”.
