Satchel One App | Note |
Homework
| When the new academic year rollover occurs, existing classes and gradebooks are archived. Teachers who wish to keep a copy of their marks should export them before the rollover.
Please follow these instructions before the rollover occurs in order to retain your marks.
Previous academic year Announcements and Events are retained after the rollover. Students who received the Announcement / Event can navigate back on the Notice Board to find it. |
Your school's Seating plans are linked to specific classes for the current academic year. Once the rollover occurs, existing Seating plans are archived along with the classes they are linked to.
💡 Top tip: An admin user can create Seating templates, which are completely unaffected by the rollover. This means teachers can use Seating templates as a basis for quickly making new seating plans every year. All they need to do is add their new students on to the plan! | |
New lessons are visible on Satchel One once your new academic year classes have been imported. This typically happens on the first day of lessons.
⚠️ Note: Depending on the dates in your MIS, lessons may appear in the final week of August. | |
The points and badges count for the previous academic year is reset when the rollover occurs. This way, students can start the new academic year with a clean slate.
However, all historical points and badges (including those from previous academic years) remain visible for staff who are looking at a student's individual profile with the Behaviour tab selected. | |
Your school’s active Detention types are carried over to the next academic year, meaning no additional prep is required.
You can also view any current or upcoming Detentions and mark Detention attendance at any time. | |
All Welfare Notes are carried over to the new academic year.
💡 Top tip: Be sure to add any useful new information as a Welfare Note, to help staff feel fully prepared and knowledgeable about their new students straight away.
Welfare Notes can also be used to attach any relevant files e.g. medical updates, provision maps, and more. | |
When the new academic year begins, the attendance and punctuality statistics are reset. New data is imported as soon as it becomes available. | |
Staff can mark attendance as soon as the new classes and registration groups have appeared in Satchel One. This should happen automatically on the first day of lessons.
💡 Top tip: Through the Manage Users section, an admin user can assign the school's designated Attendance Officer to ensure they can stay on top of truancies with automated truancy notifications. | |
Assessment aspects roll over to the new academic year by default. Satchel One always shows the latest available assessment result, so this will be visible as soon as the new data is available in your MIS. You can add or remove aspects at any time. |
