Finish setting up your school

import { Steps, Aside } from ‘@astrojs/starlight/components’;

For Directors. When your school is created, the curriculum framework, classes, subjects, and academic calendar are already in place. The Finish setting up checklist on the dashboard walks you through the rest — each item links to the page where you do it.

1. Review framework and calendar — pre-set for you in Settings. Change classes, subjects, or dates now if needed.
2. Add your first students — in Students, one by one or in bulk. See Add students.
3. Set your fee structure — in Finance → Fee structure. Balances and statements are computed from these items, so do this before recording any payment. See Set up a new term’s fees.
4. Invite teachers and staff — in Settings → Team. Staff accept an invitation to join. See Invite staff.
5. Add your school logo — in Settings. It appears on printed report cards.

What happens next

The checklist hides itself once everything is done. From there, the dashboard Quick Actions are the daily shortcuts: record a payment, enter marks, manage students, and mark attendance.

Everything the framework set up can be changed later — classes, subjects, terms, and fee items each have their own page.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need the fee structure before adding students? No — but set it before recording payments, so every payment lands against the right item.

Can staff start before setup is finished? Yes. Invite them early; permissions follow their role automatically.
