School class streams

For admins· 2 min read

Per-school class structure — streams within each grade, teacher assignments per subject.

Class streams model the section structure inside a school — e.g. Grade 7 has streams 7A, 7B, 7C; each stream has subject-teacher assignments. Used by the bulk-invite + broadcast pipelines to scope to specific classes.

Hierarchy

School → Grade → Stream → Subject assignment (subject + teacher)

A stream is a section within a grade. A school typically has 2–5 streams per grade.

Steps to set up a school's streams

  1. Admin → Schools → School class streams.
  2. Search for the school.
  3. Pick a grade (Grade 7 – Grade 12).
  4. + Add stream — enter the stream label (e.g. "7A").
  5. Per stream, tap Add subject assignment — pick subject, pick teacher (from the school's verified-teachers list).

Edits

  • Rename a stream — tap the stream header → Rename. Cascading update to assignments + bulk-invite history.
  • Delete a stream — only allowed if no assignments. Move or delete those first.
  • Reassign a teacher — open the assignment → pick a new teacher.

Why this matters

  • Bulk invites can target "Aga Khan, Grade 7, all streams" — Keybaki resolves the stream list and the teacher per subject so invites go to the right parent contacts.
  • Broadcasts can scope to streams ("Grade 7B parents") instead of the whole school.
  • Class enrolment exports generate per-stream CSVs.

Limits

  • 20 streams per grade per school (soft limit; admin can raise if needed).
  • 15 subject assignments per stream (matches the maximum CBE subjects).

Common issues

  • Teacher not in the assignment picker. They aren't a verified teacher at this school. Run their claim through the verification queue first.
  • Streams imported with weird labels. Bulk import accepts free-text labels. Standardise (e.g. "7A" not "Grade 7 stream A") via a Rename sweep.
