Welcome to KAL School Manager

This administrator guide covers the foundational steps required to configure KSM for your school. Whether you are setting up a single campus or multiple institutions, follow these steps to ensure smooth onboarding for your teachers, pupils, and guardians.

Step 1: School Profile & Academic Terms

Navigate to Settings → School Profile to define your school name, Ministry of Education registration number, contact details, and school crest. Then, under Academic Calendar, create your three school terms with precise start and end dates.

Step 2: Staff User Accounts & Roles

Create staff accounts under User Management. Assign appropriate roles: Director, Headteacher, Teacher, or Accountant. Role-based scoping ensures teachers only access their assigned classes and timetables.
