Rollout checklist

A practical checklist to align results, reporting, and finance access before term-end.

6 min read

Who this is for

School leadership, academics teams, and operations staff coordinating a new rollout or a term restart.

  • Owners / principals
  • Heads of department
  • Admin and operations team
  • IT/support champion

Before you start

A smooth rollout happens when roles, term structure, and data sources are agreed upfront. Don’t skip alignment.

  • Confirm the current term dates and publishing deadline
  • List the roles that will post, review, and approve
  • Decide the source of truth for students, subjects, and class lists
  • Choose which optional modules you want this term (attendance, messaging, analytics)

Week 1: Structure and access

Set up the school structure so daily work matches reality.

  • Create or verify class structure and subject mapping
  • Confirm teacher-to-class assignments
  • Set role permissions (teacher entry, HOD review, admin publishing)
  • Confirm finance alignment rules (if applicable) for access gating

Week 2: Posting workflow

Turn term pressure into predictable weekly progress with a clear posting rhythm.

  • Define the posting cadence (weekly/bi-weekly)
  • Set review rules (what must be checked before it becomes “ready”)
  • Agree on escalation: what happens when a class is behind
  • Train teachers on the minimum set of actions they must complete

Week 3: Publishing readiness

Make publishing a controlled process, not an end-of-term scramble.

  • Confirm what “ready to publish” means for your school
  • Run a practice batch publish with a small group
  • Prepare parent communication (timelines, expectations, support contact)
  • Confirm the final sign-off role and the schedule for approval

Ongoing: Keep it clean

The goal is clarity every week: visibility, accountability, and fewer surprises.

  • Do a 10-minute weekly check-in using the School Overview and Results Pipeline
  • Resolve blockers early (missing entries, subject mapping issues, role access)
  • Keep the term workflow consistent; avoid last-minute rule changes
  • Document exceptions (late admissions, subject transfers) so reporting stays accurate
