FeatureTimetable

Add breaks, prep and other non-class time to your timetable

Click Add Block, give it a name, and drag it onto the grid like a class. Blocks follow your rotation and show on the planner and the dashboard's Today column, so your day reads the way it really runs.

Import your students straight from an Excel workbook, one sheet per class

Upload the .xlsx you already keep. Sheets with the same columns are read as one class each, and any class we do not find yet can be created on the spot.
