Built end-to-end for trade and vocational schools

Everything you need to admit, teach, track, bill, and keep clean records without juggling six different tools. Designed to support FERPA-conscious workflows.

Students & School Structure

๐Ÿ‘ค

Student Profiles

Full demographics, contacts, custom fields, and notes; multiple custom fields per student.

๐Ÿ“…

School Years & Rollover

Active-year switcher, archive past years, and one-click rollover that copies class definitions and assignments to a new year; leaving rosters, grades, and historical records untouched.

๐Ÿ“š

Programs

Bundle classes into named programs with a total cost. Enroll students individually or in batches.

๐Ÿซ

Classes & Sections

Assign teachers, set schedules, link to programs, and reuse classes across multiple programs.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

Workshops

Standalone short courses outside of school years, each with its own gradebook engine, assignments, completion certificates, and per-instance overrides on a template.

Teaching & Grading

โœ…

Attendance

Daily roster view with present / absent / late toggles. Bulk-mark and lock past dates.

๐Ÿ“

Assignments & Gradebook

Create assignments, enter grades, weight categories, and publish a gradebook to portals. Pass/fail and percentage grading both supported.

๐ŸŽ“

Report Cards & Certificates

Per-year report cards (programs + classes) and workshop completion certificates rendered through the unified PDF engine.

๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿซ

Teacher Portal

Year switcher in the hero, scoped class lists, attendance, and gradebook entry built for instructors, not admins.

Tuition, Billing & Payments

๐Ÿ’ฐ

Invoicing

Single invoices or auto-generated payment plans (weekly, biweekly, monthly).

๐Ÿ’ณ

Stripe Payments

Online tuition collection with reconciliation, receipts, and saved payment methods.

๐Ÿ“ˆ

Flat Financing Fees

Skip the Reg Z minefield: charge a flat dollar or percentage financing fee instead of interest. Configured per program with per-contract overrides.

๐Ÿ“Š

Account Activity & Audit

Running-balance ledger ordered by due date, plus a school-wide tuition audit showing what every student owes and has paid.

Legal, Documents & Compliance

โœ๏ธ

E-Signature Contracts

Send tuition contracts from the application screen. Typed signatures with ESIGN/UETA consent, IP, user-agent, and timestamp captured for a detailed audit trail.

๐Ÿงพ

Contract Template Editor

One rich-text template with merge tags ({student_name}, {financed}, {finance_fee}, {fee_disclosure}, schedule table, and more). Edit once in Settings โ†’ Legal.

๐Ÿ“‚

Required Student Documents

Define required document types per program (ID, diploma, W-9, etc.). Students upload from the portal; admins can upload on their behalf. Uploaded = satisfied.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Secure Private Storage

Files stored outside the public web root with hashed filenames and .htaccess deny rules. Served only through authenticated, capability-checked PHP handlers.

๐Ÿ“œ

Audit Log

Every upload, download, and delete is recorded with actor, IP, and user-agent — a chain-of-custody record schools can produce on request for state regulators.

Portals, PDFs & Platform

๐Ÿ”

Three Portals

Separate dashboards for students, parents, and teachers; each scoped to exactly what they should see.

๐Ÿ“„

Unified PDF Engine

Invoices, statements, report cards, contracts, and summary reports all share the same polished, branded layout.

๐Ÿ”’

Roles & Privacy

Admin, teacher, parent, and student roles with strict capability boundaries — designed to support FERPA-conscious workflows.
