Helpful system messages and free push notifications also assist with keeping teachers up-to-date with any important student information, school news and timetable changes. The dashboard is organised across four key tabs offering a quick snapshot of key information relevant to each teacher including their current and next lesson, their timetable, cover arrangements, any student updates, absent and detention lists, off games lists, news, bulletins and calendar events.
