One homeroom for attendance, homework, and grades
Homeroom lists, attendance, homework, gradebook, exam papers, and lesson plans for teachers - scoped to your classes on the school academic calendar.

Stop juggling separate tools for every classroom task
Teachers lose prep time switching between timetable PDFs, attendance apps, messaging groups, and grade spreadsheets. When the registrar moves a student Friday afternoon, you discover it Monday when marks do not match seats.
Schoolyi gives you homeroom and subject class lists from the live roster. Mark attendance once; post homework to the right section; enter marks that respect publish rules - without re-exporting class lists every week.
Homeroom and class lists you can trust
Your screen shows only the students assigned to you for the current academic year. Substitute teachers see handoff notes and the same lists when coverage is scheduled - not a screenshot in email.
When students join mid-term, they appear after registrar enrollment. You are not asked to maintain a shadow roster in a personal spreadsheet.
Attendance that respects working days and holidays
Marking attendance on a holiday or staff inset day should not be possible. The academic calendar drives which days count, so your register matches what leadership reports to boards and families.
Quick homeroom marking on tablet or laptop fits the first ten minutes of period one. Leave requests and approved absences can display so you are not chasing the office for every code.
Homework and class communication without a separate chat app
Posting assignments to the correct section keeps families aligned with what you actually taught. Guardians see homework in the portal linked to their child - not buried in a general WhatsApp thread.
You control what publishes and when. Draft posts stay internal until you release them, which helps when plans change after a fire drill or assembly.
Gradebook with publish gates families understand
Entering marks is only half the job. Schools need approval steps before report cards go live - department heads, exam controllers, or principals depending on your policy.
Publish rules prevent accidental early release. You see which assessments are draft versus published, and families only view results after the school opens that window.
Exam papers and invigilation when assessment season hits
Exam modules show your paper queue, seating plans where configured, and invigilation duties. You are not decoding a separate exam timetable PDF that contradicts the regular bell schedule.
Marks entered in exam sessions flow toward report card assembly. That connection reduces the end-of-term scramble to merge CSV files from different subject teachers.
Lesson plans on the calendar you already follow
Lesson planning tied to the academic calendar keeps scope and sequence visible to coordinators without a second planning tool. Link plans to dates and subjects so substitutes know what was scheduled.
Not every school mandates detailed plans in software - but when you do, keeping them beside attendance and grades means one login for daily teaching work.
Substitute handoff that survives sick days
When you are out, substitutes need class context: seating, behavior notes, where you left off in the scheme of work. Scoped substitute access shows today's classes without exposing unrelated student records.
Homeroom attendance still gets marked; homework can note "cover lesson" so families are not confused. That continuity is what principals notice when comparing schools' digital maturity.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about school software for teachers with Schoolyi - Cloud School Management System (SMS).
Do I see every student in the school or only my classes?+
Teachers see students assigned to their homeroom and subject sections only. Permissions prevent browsing unrelated classes unless your role includes coordination duties.
Can I enter marks from my phone or tablet?+
Grade entry and attendance work on modern browsers on tablet and phone. Layouts prioritize quick homeroom marking and session-based grade input.
What happens if I enter a mark before publish is allowed?+
Marks save as draft according to your school's publish rules. Families do not see them until the exam controller or administrator opens the publish window for that session or term.
Does homework notify parents automatically?+
When homework publishes to the portal, linked guardians see it on their child's feed. Notification settings depend on your school's portal configuration.
How do substitutes get access without my password?+
Substitute roles are assigned by admin staff for specific dates or classes. Substitutes log in with their own account and see only the coverage schedule.
We use LMS for content. Does Schoolyi replace that?+
Schoolyi focuses on roster, attendance, homework posting, grades, and exams aligned to your school calendar. Many schools pair it with an LMS for rich content; the gradebook and report card path stay here.
