E-Diary, homework and marks (Staff app)

Teachers can do most of their daily record-keeping from JPX Staff. E-Diary & Homework has two tabs: Homework, to set work for a class with photos and files, and E-Diary, to record what each lesson covered. Enter Marks takes examination marks for your papers. Class Results shows a class teacher the marks, grades and ranks of the whole section.

Before you start#

• You are signed in to JPX Staff. See Sign in to JPX Staff.
• E-Diary & Homework needs the Write the class E-Diary permission on your portal account.
• Your classes come from the school timetable. If the timetable gives you no class, there is nobody to set homework for.
• Class Results needs the Marksheet register permission and a class of your own.

Set homework#

1. On Home, tap E-Diary & Homework, then the Homework tab.
2. Tap Set homework.
3. Choose the Class.
4. Choose the Subject, or General (whole class) where offered.
5. Enter a Title, for example "Exercise 5.2, questions 1 to 10".
6. Enter the Instructions: what to do, the pages, what to bring.
7. Pick Due on.
8. Turn on Ask families to mark it done if you want families to confirm completion. Otherwise families only mark it as seen.
9. Add files if needed: Camera, Gallery, or PDF or Word.
10. Tap Set homework.

The app confirms Homework set. The families of the class have been told.

See who has seen it, edit or withdraw#

• Each homework card shows Seen by so many families of the class, and how many marked it done.
• Tap the card to see each family: Seen or Not yet, and Done or Not done.
• Tap Edit to change it. Tap Save changes.
• Tap Withdraw to take it away from every family. Add a reason if you like, then tap Withdraw. It moves to the Withdrawn list. The office still sees it in the School ERP.

Use All my classes to filter by class, and Active or Withdrawn to switch lists.

Record the E-Diary#

1. Open E-Diary & Homework and tap the E-Diary tab.
2. Choose the day. The screen shows Your lessons for that day from the timetable.
3. For each period, write what was covered and any homework in What was covered, and any homework.
4. Tap Record diary.
5. Confirm Record in the dialog.

A recorded lesson shows RECORDED and cannot be changed from the app. The office corrects it in the School ERP if needed.

Enter examination marks#

1. On Home, tap Enter Marks.
2. Choose the Examination.
3. Choose the Class and section.
4. Under Subject, tap the paper. Each paper shows the maximum marks, the exam date and how many students are entered.
5. The roll opens in roll order. For each student, type the marks. Where a paper has theory and practical parts, fill T and P.
6. To record absence, tap A (absent), L (leave) or W (withheld) instead of marks. P is present.
7. Tap Next on the keyboard to move down the roll.

Each mark saves by itself. The row shows Saved when the school has it.

If the network drops#

Marks you enter without a connection are kept on the phone. A banner says how many marks have not reached the school yet, and they are sent again automatically when the network returns. Tap Send now to try at once.

If someone changed the same mark elsewhere, the row shows Changed elsewhere. Choose Keep theirs or Save mine over it.

Read your class results#

1. On Home, tap Class Results.
2. Choose the Examination.
3. Each student has a card with Total, Percent, Class rank and School rank, then every subject's marks and grade. The top student is marked TOPPER.

Good to know#

• A paper marked READ ONLY is closed for entry. Ask the office if a mark needs changing.
• Photos that are too large are refused with a message. Take the photo again a little further away.
• The office's side of these records is described in the School ERP guides on E-Diary and homework and results and report cards.
