Build your school in one step

A screen recording of Pearspark doing exactly this in a sample school, and the same 8 steps written out below in the labels you'll see on screen.

How to build your school in one step

1Sign in for the first time — you land on the setup questions; every answer is already picked for a school like yours, and nothing is built until the last button
2Answer the three yes-or-no questions (tuition, a library, volunteers), then tick what else your school does and say whether you teach a class yourself
3On "How will your students come in?", pick "I have a list", "I'll type them", "Families will sign up themselves", or "We're switching from another system"
4Paste the rows from your spreadsheet, header row included — Pearspark says how many rows and columns it read — or type each child's name, grade and a parent's name and email
5Check "Who teaches?", "When does school run?" (dates, two semesters, state, meeting days, Days off) and "What does tuition cost?"
6On "Here's what we'll build", check the cards (Your students, Your teachers, Your classes, Your year, Subjects and grading, Tuition) and choose how to group classes under Your classes
7Each class shows Meets with the school's days — click a day to change it if one class meets on other days
8Click "Build my school" — you land on your Dashboard with "Your school is built", the list under "We named these for you", buttons to Take attendance, Send a note home, Invite families and Invite staff, and "Undo this build" for 24 hours

Configure the school once — branding, years and terms, classes, staff, roles — then let the June rollover wizard carry it all into the new year.
