About Boarding Houses

In 3sysACADEMIC, the Boarding Houses function enables you to search for and view comprehensive details about existing boarding houses, and the pupils and staff assigned to them. Depending upon permission settings, you can view and complete a range of tasks against a specific boarding house or pupils within a boarding house using the Boarding House screen:

• Adding notes against boarding houses.
• Creating a markbook task for the selected boarding house. (The Create Task function appears displaying a list of the pupils for the selected boarding house, ready for you to specify the details of the markbook task for that group of pupils.)
• Entering markbook data for the selected boarding house. (The Mark Entry function appears displaying a list of the pupils for the selected boarding house, ready for you to enter markbook data.)
• Undertaking markbook inquiries for the selected boarding house. (The Mark Inquiry function appears displaying a list of the pupils for the selected boarding house, ready for you to perform calculations against.)
• Creating a pupil custom group based on the selected pupils within the boarding house.
• Emailing pupils within a boarding house. (You can select the pupils to receive the email.)
• Adding pupil documents for the selected pupil(s) within the boarding house. For example, a check list of equipment expected to be supplied by parents for pupils of a specific boarding house.
• Adding an event against selected pupils within a boarding house. (The New Event screen appears, enabling you to create a new event, such as a detention or house points, for the selected group of pupils.)

Note: Boarding House records and their associated pupils and staff are added to the database using passFINANCE/schoolADMIN.
