Student Remarks

The Student Remarks module allows Class Teachers and School Administrators to record holistic student evaluations and extracurricular feedback. Remarks are categorized into Overall remarks (general evaluation) and Co-Scholastic Achievements remarks (performance in specific activities like Sports, Music, or Art).

Role Permissions & Period Scoping

• Class Teachers: Can write and update remarks for students enrolled in their assigned sections.
• Subject Teachers: Can open section remarks in read-only mode.
• Period Scoping: Remarks are stored independently per Result Period (e.g., First Semester, Second Semester, and Final Result each maintain their own independent remarks).
• Remarks never alter calculated marks, percentages, or grades. They can be drafted even while academic results are still incomplete.

2. Co-Scholastic Achievements Tab

Switch to the Co-Scholastic Achievements tab to enter feedback for non-academic activities assigned to the class.

Entry Modes

Choose between two efficient input modes:

1. By Student:
   • Focus on one student at a time.
   • View all assigned activities for that student in a vertical list.
   • Use Save & next or the Previous student / Next student navigation arrows to step through the roster.
2. By Activity:
   • Focus on one activity (e.g., Sports) for the entire section at once.
   • Ideal for specialized instructors entering observations across all students in a single table, with batch-apply tools available.

Guidelines for Co-Scholastic Remarks

• Character Limit: Up to 200 characters per activity per student.
• Optional / Blank: If a student did not participate in a specific activity, leave the field blank. Blank entries print nothing (or a standard dash "—" depending on report card settings).
• Inactive Activities: If an administrator deactivates an activity after remarks were recorded, the entries display as "Inactive · remark kept" in read-only mode and continue to print on report cards.
• Missing Activities Alert: If no activities appear, the page displays:
  "No Co-scholastic Achievements are assigned to [class] for 2026-27."
  Contact the School Admin to map activities in Co-Scholastic Achievements.

3. Read-Only Scenarios

You may encounter read-only locks under the following circumstances:

• Subject Teacher Assignment: You teach a subject in the section but are not assigned as its official Class Teacher.
• Closed Academic Sessions: Past academic sessions are archived and locked to preserve historical record integrity.
