Image ModifiedStart of Year setup for 2020

This document is designed for school administrators. It explains what needs to be done, to setup your school's uEducateUs system for the new year.

As this setup can take some time, it is highly recommended that it be done in advance before the start of term.
Note: Performing this setup after the term starts can result in additional work needing to be done to set the system up correctly, plus you run the risk of attendance rolls not being available for when students arrive.

Step 1: Update Cases21

Complete the following in Cases21:

• Increment student year levels
• Create new students
• Setup new home groups
• Setup new classes

Step 2: Run the eduHub Connector to Import your school’s data from Cases21 into uEducateUs

To perform this step, you must have previously installed the uEducateUs - eduHub Connector application on a PC at your school (generally the Business Manager's or Principal's computers are used).

If you wish to install the uEducateUs - eduHub Connector application, both the download link for the application and instructions for setting up the application can be found in Management > eduHub. Installation will need to be completed before you proceed further.

Alternatively, you can organise for the data to be imported manually. The manual import will need to be done with the assistance of the uEducateUs support team, and can be a lengthy process. Your school will be charged for the time that it takes to manually import this data.

If you do currently have the eduHub connector installed and running at your school, then perform a sync now and proceed to Step 3.

Step 3: Set additional information in uEducateUs

3.a. Check your term dates for this year

Main navigation menu: Management > Advanced > School preferences:

Check your 2020 term dates for this year and adjust them as required here. 

3.b. Set additional information for home room classes

Main navigation menu: Management > School > Classes:

For each home room class, click the drop arrow to the right of the View button and select Edit from the drop list. This will allow you to edit the selected class.
On the edit class page for each home room, you will be able to set the following additional information via the tabs along the top:

• Details
• Year levels
• Teachers
• Students
• Subjects
• Tasks
• Timetable (timetable periods are required if attendance is going to be marked for this class)

It will also be necessary to create any classes that were not in Cases21. If they include the same students as a home room, it is possible to clone an existing class. This cloning process will automatically attach the correct students.

Creating new classes in uEducateUs

Main navigation menu: Management > School > Classes
Click the green [ + ] button (top left of the classes grid).
Complete all compulsory fields* > Click [Continue] > Add any further required information via the tab windows > Click [Save].

If you’d prefer to clone an existing class (rather than creating a new one from scratch):
Select the class you wish to clone, click the drop arrow to the right of the View menu for that class and select the Clone class option from the drop list.
By default, the students and subjects will be added to the new class… if you do not wish this to be the case, uncheck the relevant checkboxes before clicking the [Save] button.
Once the cloned class has been created, you will be taken to the edit mode for the new class, so you can make any alterations. The areas you can edit are:

• Teachers
• Students
• Subjects
• Timetable periods

If you do not wish to alter anything, click the [Cancel] button to return to the classes tab.
