Few Suggestions

[fderyckel]

Hi Neil,
Awesome job there.
Being a teacher for 15 years and having used quite a few management system (PowerSchool, Manage Bac), here is a few suggestions (time permitting):
** If it is for school, you may want to add parents login. Create new fields for mother, father, guardian + all contact details => then there should be able to login and see schedule, attendance, grading of their kids

**Create new predefined roles with specific permissions for each: Principal, Curriculum Coordinator, counsellor, Head of Department, etc.

** Attendance module with attendance reports for teachers, students and parents. Make the attendance options open as each school has its own preferences. For instance: Present, Absent, Sick, Excused, Field Trip, Late, etc. Possibility to create new options
*** Create report with amount of absences, late arrivals, etc.
*** Ability to have automatic notification to parents, counsellor, etc. in case of absence, late arrival, etc.
***Automatic daily summary attendance report of whole school or sections for principal, Head teacher, etc.

** A Grade Books. Probably the most important one. Should be viewable by teachers, students and parents. That's a tricky one as it can become quickly very complicated ....
**Assignment can be of type homework, project, quiz, tests, exam, etc. (Possibility to create new options)
*__Assignment should reflect on students calendar (viewable by parents and teachers)
** Assignment can be graded out of points (out of 20 or 100 or whatever) or letters (A, B, C, etc.) - More american system. Grading can also be done just with comments (text field)
**Possibility for students to upload their assignments (using file manager system)
** Create reports for a subject, for a whole semester, etc.

Sorry I have no JS or Python experience and I would be happy to test or offer any other help needed.

@fderyckel thanks for the kind words. Will be creating portals for students, parents etc
The portals will cover the reports part.

Predefined roles and permissions can be done. Need to give a thought on it.

I am not sure about Grade Books though. Maybe we can give it a thought once other things are done.
