The end of the academic term is one of the busiest periods for school administrators. Between finalizing grades, preparing reports, and managing parent communications, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
That’s exactly why our June updates focus on streamlining these critical end-of-term processes.
This month, we’ve introduced four powerful features that will transform how you handle reports, manage guardian information, and get the support you need, all while maintaining our commitment to keeping Shelf21 100% free for Nigerian schools.
Revolutionary Real-Time Report Publishing
The Old Way: Print hundreds of report cards, stuff them in envelopes, and hope they reach parents through students, often resulting in lost reports and frustrated parents asking for duplicates.
The New Way: With our updated broadsheet flow and enhanced result management system, you can now publish and send reports directly to parents in real-time.
What This Means for You:
- Instant Delivery: Reports reach parents the moment you publish them
- Zero Printing Costs: No more paper, ink, or printing expenses
- 100% Delivery Rate: Every parent receives their child’s report guaranteed
- Professional Presentation: Clean, digital reports that parents can save and share
Comprehensive Video Learning Library
New staff members often struggle with system navigation, leading to productivity delays and increased support requests.
What we did: We’ve added detailed explainer videos throughout the platform, guiding users through every step and process.
What’s Included:
- Step-by-step tutorials for common tasks
- Visual guides for complex processes
- Quick reference videos for daily operations
- Troubleshooting guides for common issues
Batch Guardian Management: A Complete Game-Changer
Adding guardian information for hundreds of students one by one was consuming entire days of administrative time.
Now: Our new batch import feature allows you to upload guardian information in bulk and automatically map guardians to students.
How Much Time Does This Save?
- Before: Adding 200 guardians individually = 8-10 hours
- After: Importing 200 guardians in batch = 2 minutes
Additional Benefits:
- Error Reduction: Bulk operations reduce manual entry mistakes
- Consistent Data: Standardized information across all records
- Easy Updates: Modify multiple records simultaneously
Support Rating System
What’s New: You can now rate your support interactions directly within the platform.
Why We Added This:
- Continuous Improvement: Your feedback helps us enhance our service quality
- Accountability: Ensures our support team maintains high standards
- Transparency: Clear visibility into support quality metrics
How It Works:
- Rate your support experience after each interaction
- Provide specific feedback on what worked well
