Student Custom Fields

Student Custom Fields are fields you create in the student account templates to store custom values. Custom fields can be made visible in the Customer Portal for editing and can also be included as variables in Email Blasts.

• Click here for full details about creating/configuring Student Custom Fields.

Grades and Grade Options

iClassPro's optional Grades feature refers to the student's academic grade (e.g., Pre K, Kindergarten, 1st, etc.). Once configured, Grades are auto-assigned to existing students in the system based on their age. Each year, on the selected "roll-over date," students will automatically roll into the next grade up.

Grades can be used as a requirement on classes for students to be automatically approved for an enrollment, overriding any age requirements.

Student Options

Student Options are miscellaneous settings that determine how the system handles various options related to student age display and when the New Enrollment icon will be displayed in the Staff Portal and on roll sheets.

• Display Student Age In Years Only - if enabled, iClassPro will only display the student age in years (instead of years and months). Note that the displayed student age does not "round up" and students who are 5 years, 2 months and 5 years, 11 months will both display their age as "5 years." (Note that the system will always base class eligibility on the actual computed age and not whole years.)
• Send Email for Consecutive Unexcused Absences - if enabled, iClassPro will automatically send an email whenever a student meets the number of consecutive unexcused absences in a specific class as defined by the "Send email after "X" consecutive unexcused absences" value below.
  • Send email after "X" consecutive unexcused absences - The system will use the value assigned to this setting at the time the consecutive absence emails are sent. Changing the value will affect when a student receives the email. For example, changing the value from 3 to 2 after attendance is recorded (but before the e-mails have been sent) means a student may not receive an email until the 4th absence has been recorded.
  • Send a copy to all email addresses associated with eligible Students - if enabled, the system will send the email to all email addresses associated with the student. If left disabled, the system will only send the email to the primary email address of their Primary Guardian.

If attendance was submitted more than 72 hours after the class ends, no email will be sent. Otherwise, consecutive absence emails will be sent based on the later of these two values:
      - 30 minutes after submitting attendance.
      - 4 hours after the class ends.

    • Custom Gender Name - defines the name that will be displayed for the Custom Gender throughout the system. A maximum of 20 characters is allowed for this field.
      • Wherever gender is displayed as a single letter (such as M/F for Male/Female), the custom gender will always display as "X."
      • NOTE: If the name of the custom gender is changed later, iClassPro will not retain the previous custom gender name and the new gender name will be displayed throughout the system.
