School life

The life of the school beyond the timetable

Clubs and achievements, merit cards and house points, who left the gate and when, where the bus is right now, the library on the shelf and on the phone, and an ID card for everyone.

Merit cards in the Akshara app: 9 points this year, with a Token of Merit and purple merit cards and who gave them

Extra activities

Football, debate, music — each activity with its members, its days and who came. Grades for an activity print on the report card, and achievements are recorded with the student.

  • Members, days and attendance for each activity
  • Grades that appear on the report card
  • Achievements kept with the student
  • Families see their child’s activities in the app

Merit cards and house points

Teachers give merit and demerit cards from their phone, each worth the points the school sets. Rules turn cards into more — every three purple cards earn a Token of Merit, say — and every card adds up for the student’s house.

  • Blue and purple merit cards, demerits and Tokens of Merit
  • The school’s own points and rules
  • House points that add themselves up
  • Given on the teacher’s phone, seen on the parent’s

Gate passes and exit passes

A gate pass lets a student leave school early with a guardian — asked for, approved, and recorded as they leave and come back, for brothers and sisters together, today or on a later day, with a printed pass. An exit pass lets a student out of the classroom and records them back in.

  • Asked for, approved, out and back — each recorded
  • Brothers and sisters on one pass
  • For today, or asked ahead for a later day
  • Exit passes for leaving the classroom
Gate passes in the Akshara app: today’s, coming up and earlier ones, each with who is leaving and why

The school bus, live

Routes, stops and the students on each. Buses send their position as they drive, the office watches the whole fleet on a live map, and each parent sees their child’s bus and when it reaches their stop.

  • Routes, stops and students per route
  • A live map of every bus
  • Parents see their bus and its next stops
  • Pick-up and drop-off times for each stop
The school bus live in the Akshara app: route 3, the pick-up trip six minutes from Chabahil Chowk

The library and the store room

Books and their copies catalogued, the school’s rules for loans, and every book lent and returned. The store room keeps its items, what came in and went out, and what needs ordering.

  • Books, copies and loan rules
  • Lending and returns
  • Inventory with reorder levels
  • What needs ordering, at a glance

A digital library, on every phone

E-books, PDFs, notes, audio books, videos and links — for the whole school, chosen classes or the staff. They read in the app and on the website, carry on where the reader stopped, and stay read-only unless the school lets a book be saved, with the reader’s name across each page. A class is told when a new book is published for it, and a reading report shows who began and finished what.

  • E-books chapter by chapter, PDFs, audio and video
  • For everyone, chosen classes or the staff
  • Read-only by default, with the reader’s name across it
  • A reading report by book and by class
