Set up an academic year

Academic setup should be completed in the correct school account before placing students or taking attendance.

1. Open Academic Setup.
2. Select Create academic year and enter its display label, start date, and end date.
3. Add the grade levels the school uses.
4. Select Create class section and choose the academic year and grade, then enter the section name.
5. Review the year, grades, and sections in the setup lists.

Use the academic-year filter when looking for a class section. If a section is unavailable while enrolling a student, check that it was created for the selected year and grade. Changes to an academic year can affect later school workflows, so confirm dates before using the year in admissions, attendance, or reports.
