Getting started as a class adviser

Create your section, paste the roster, pick the subjects, and share the class code. Under ten minutes.

One answer, with what teachers ask next on the same screen underneath it.

  • Say whether it helped at the bottom of the article. That is the only way we learn it is wrong.
  • Anything in a green box is what the DepEd order says; anything in amber is where teachers get caught.

What an adviser does in SchoolAide Lite

You own the section: its learner list, its subjects, its attendance and conduct, and its report cards. Subject teachers encode scores in their own gradebooks; you see every subject's progress and release the term.

Create the class

  1. My classes → New class. Step 1 asks for your school, the school year, and the grading periods: three terms (MATATAG), four quarters (the legacy DO 8, s. 2015 calendar), or two semesters. Choose carefully — once any subject in the class has activities, that field locks, and Class settings will say so.
  2. Grade level and section. Name the section the way your school does — Rizal, Sampaguita. The grading mode is resolved for you and explained on the step: Grade 1 is descriptive from SY 2026–2027, Grade 2 from 2027–2028, Grade 3 from 2028–2029, and Kindergarten always. Untick any subject your section does not take.
  3. The roster. Paste straight from Excel or your E-Class Record, or upload a CSV or .xlsx. You see how every name was split before anything is saved. LRN is optional, and one that is not 12 digits is a warning, never a blocker. Skip is there if you would rather add learners later.
  4. Review, then Create. The wizard keeps every answer in your session, so a refresh, a closed tab or a dropped signal lands you back on the same step with nothing retyped.

Share the class code

Every class has a 7-character code. It never contains 0, O, 1 or I, so it survives being read aloud or copied off a whiteboard. You will find it on the class card under My classes, at the top of the class's Subjects page, and in Class settings. A teacher who joins with it gets your roster already typed — so there is never a second spelling of one child.

If a teacher signed up before you

A standalone gradebook that looks like your section appears under Needs a decision on the class overview. Linking merges only the learner list; their activities and scores stay untouched.
