Markbook, exams, rankings and PDF report cards
Teachers enter marks in a markbook that saves as they type. Skulink works out grades, points, means and positions, and the report cards follow. Nothing reaches parents until the school publishes it.
Marks in, results out
- A markbook per class and subject, saved as each mark is typed.
- Grades, points, means, deviations and positions worked out automatically on the CBC performance levels or the school's own scale.
- Class and stream rankings, subject analysis and a leaderboard export to Excel.
- Past exam marks imported from the spreadsheets the school already keeps, into each learner's archived exams.
Checked before it is published
- Class teachers hand results in as final; the Director of Studies checks and publishes them.
- Every change to marks, grades or publication is kept in the activity history, with who made it.
- Each exam is archived, so a learner's progress builds up term after term.
Report cards on the school's letterhead
- PDF report cards with remarks, positions and signature blocks, carrying the school's logo.
- Parents are notified by app and SMS when results are published.
Common questions
- Which curricula does Skulink support?
- The Competency-Based Curriculum is built in, from pre-primary (PP1 and PP2) and primary (Grades 1 to 6) on the four performance levels to junior and senior secondary (Grades 7 to 12) on the eight. A school can also set its own ranges, points and remarks, and each class follows its level's scale.
- Can we bring our existing records?
- Yes. Import data (in the administrator's menu) brings in 30 kinds of record from Excel or CSV: classes, subjects and facilities; teachers, support staff, learners, parents and alumni; fee structures, balances, payments, income and expenses, and payslips; attendance and past exam marks; boarding, transport, clubs, discipline and sick bay; the library, the store and the calendar. Upload the sheet you already have, from any system: Skulink finds the headings, guesses which column is which for you to correct, and reads tables laid out with a column per grade or per day. Every row is checked before anything is saved, and anything that does not fit is named on its row, ready to fix and upload again. Imported history texts no parent, old fee receipts and stock counts are never counted twice, and imported phone numbers sign nobody in until they are confirmed with a code. With its records imported, a school is up and running within a week.
- Who decides when results are released to parents?
- The school. Class teachers hand results in as final, the Director of Studies checks them, and parents see them only once they are published. Every change to marks and publication is recorded with who made it.
- Can we print report cards?
- Yes. Report cards are PDFs on the school's letterhead, with the logo, remarks, positions and signature blocks, ready to print or share.
