A new version of First Class will be available no later than 2:10pm on Wednesday 23 June. You will receive an e-mail along with the Release Notes when the software is available for download from our web site. This next release of First Class is a major release and will include our new Absences, Attendances and Alerts module called "A+". Being a major release of the product you will require a new software registration key to use this new version. New registration keys will automatically be sent to current Service & Support subscribers vie e-mail. Don't use this registration key until you have downloaded and installed the new version.
This new release of First Class contains our new roll-marking program called A+.
Along with the new registration key mentioned earlier will come a free trial of A+ until the end of July. This will allow you to access the great features of computerized roll-marking before deciding whether to purchase.
How do I replace a teacher?
If you are employing a teacher to take the full load of a teacher who is either on leave or resigning, it is a simple matter to change the details by selecting MAINTENANCE, then TEACHER and overtyping the old teacher's details with the new. Simply reverse this process if the old teacher was on leave, and returns. When the Daily Organizer needs to import extras from one database to another, make sure that both databases have the new teacher's details, otherwise it will create a "new" teacher, with the old teachers extras history, but with no load.
If you have to spread the load of the teacher who is leaving, then the process is more complicated. It could be changing a single class, or just a few classes, in the case of sharing that class to balance teachers' loads. Here's what you do...
 | If necessary, from the MAINTENANCE menu select TEACHER and add the replacement teacher(s) as is usual. Save the change. |
| From the TOOLS menu, select TIMETABLES. |
| Locate the timetable of the teacher to be replaced. |
| In "edit" mode, in the PROPERTIES box look for QUICK EDIT and select TEACHER. |
| One-by-one, click on the classes on the teacher's timetable and select the teacher who will now be taking that class from the list. The class will disappear from the replaced teacher's timetable. |
| From the MAINTENANCE menu select TEACHER and, if necessary and, if possible, delete the replaced teacher. If you cannot delete the replaced teacher, make them INACTIVE by selecting "Yes" from the "INACTIVE drop box. Again, it may be necessary to check teacher details and histories in both databases to ensure that the correct histories etc are imported. |
