1.School Setup & Uploading Your Student Lists

• Dedicated Setup Assistance: When your school joins School Manager Uganda, our technical team helps you configure your classes, streams, subject allocations, and grading schemes.

• Free Excel Upload: If you already have your student and staff lists in Excel, our team will help you upload all of them into the system so you don't have to type them one by one.

2.Your School's Web Link & Custom Branding

• Free School Link: Every school gets its own web address (for example: `yourschool.schoolmanageruganda.com`) with a free security padlock (SSL certificate).

• Custom School Domain: If your school already owns an official `.sc.ug` or `.ac.ug` website address, we can connect it directly so your portal shows `portal.yourschool.sc.ug`.

• Your School Colors & Badge: The portal displays your school badge, motto, and school colors on teacher screens, parent pages, and student reports.

3.Multi-Campus & Foundation Schools

• One Master View for Directors: If you run multiple campuses (e.g., Primary & Secondary branches, or campuses in Kampala and Entebbe), the director can see overall student numbers and fees collection from one screen.

• Separate Financial Books: Even though the director has a combined view, each school branch keeps its own separate fees books and teacher registers so accounting never mixes up.

4.Customer Support & Teacher Training

• Quick Help When You Need It: We provide fast customer support via WhatsApp, direct phone calls, and remote assistance whenever your bursar or teachers need help.

• In-Person Teacher Training: Before term begins, our team offers hands-on training workshops at your school in Kampala, Mbarara, Kabale, Wakiso, Mukono, Jinja, Gulu, and across Uganda to make sure every teacher is confident.
