Everything ClassConnect does
Every feature, grouped by the part of school life it belongs to. They all share one set of records, so a mark, an absence or a payment entered once shows up everywhere it's needed.
Teaching & learning
The everyday work of the classroom, in one place – so teachers spend their time teaching, not copying marks between books.
Gradebook
Weekly and monthly tests, projects, SBAs and exams in one gradebook for each class and subject.
- Weighted coursework and exam marks, worked out for you
- Letter grades from your own grading scales (CSEC, PEP or the school's own)
- Import marks teachers already keep in Excel
- Class averages and colour-coded marks at a glance
Skills & conduct
Rate reading, writing, numeracy, conduct and participation each term, alongside the marks.
For teachersTeacher feedback
Quick feedback (a rating, a short note or a badge) or detailed comments with an improvement plan.
- Flag feedback for a parent to read and acknowledge
- Staff-only notes that parents and students never see
Homework
Set homework with attachments and due dates; students hand it in online or it's marked as done in class.
- Automatic reminders before it's due
- Marking with feedback
- Completion figures for each class
Lesson plans & schemes of work
Teachers submit lesson plans; the principal approves them or returns them with comments. Teachers add a reflection after teaching.
For teachers, principalResource library
Notes, worksheets, past papers, mark schemes and links, shared by subject and grade.
For teachers, studentsTimetable builder
Set the bell schedule, lessons per week, double periods, labs and teachers' availability – ClassConnect builds a timetable with no clashes for classes, teachers or rooms.

Record the Grade 7 diagnostic tests, put students below mastery into support groups and re-test each term.

- Students below mastery show on the early-warning list

Reports & exams
Report cards, external exams and official documents – done properly, and on time.

Termly and yearly reports calculate themselves from the gradebook: averages, class positions, grades, effort, attendance, conduct and co-curricular activities.
- Suggested subject, form-teacher and principal comments that teachers edit
- A whole class as one PDF, or emailed to every parent
- Your crest, signature, stamp and footer on every page
Locked marks
Once a class's reports are published its marks lock. Teachers request an unlock with a reason, and it re-locks automatically.
For principal, teachersPEP, CSEC & CAPE readiness
Track mock scores, SBA progress and predicted grades for every exam candidate.
