This article explains how to assign teachers to subjects and class groups in d6 after implementation. It is for administrators and covers linking staff members to specific subject groups so they can access marks capture and class-related functions.

Overview of teacher assignments

Teachers in d6 access marks capture, class lists,  based on their subject group assignments. Each class group has a designated teacher who owns capturing rights for that group. Administrators must assign additional educators under marks capturing rights .

How do I assign a teacher to a subject group?

1. Navigate to My School > Curriculum > Subject group

2. Ensure the educator is selected from the drop down list assigned next to the correct subject and grade or alternatively under marks capturing rights.

How do I assign a class teacher (home room teacher)?

1. Go to My School > Staff > Classrooms

2. Select the relevant grade class (e.g., Grade 8A).

3. Click Edit and select the Class Teacher from the staff list.

4. Click Save. The class teacher will appear on the report card and can enter class teacher comments.

How do I change a teacher mid-year?

1. Update the Teacher field to the new staff member.

2. Click Save. The new teacher will immediately gain access to marks capture for this group. The previous teacher will lose access.

3. Any marks previously captured remain on record and are not affected by the teacher change.

Important notes

• Staff prerequisites: The teacher must have an active staff record and the correct role permissions in d6 before they can be assigned to a class group. Verify this under My School > Staff.

• One teacher per group: Each subject group has a single assigned teacher. If multiple teachers share a class, assign the primary teacher and manage access permissions separately.

Frequently asked questions

A teacher says they cannot see their class in marks capture. What do I check?

Confirm the teacher subject group is created. Also check that their d6 user account is active and has the Teacher role. If both are correct, ask the teacher to log out and log back in to refresh their permissions.

Can I assign a teacher to multiple subject groups?

Yes. A teacher can be assigned to as many class groups as needed across different subjects and grades. Each group is managed independently in the Class Lists screen.

What happens to a teacher's marks access when they leave the school?

When a staff member is deactivated in d6, they immediately lose access to all class groups and marks capture screens. Reassign their groups to a replacement teacher before deactivating to avoid any disruption.
