Academics
What each class studies, who teaches it and when. Sections, subjects, the timetable, the daily diary and lesson plans all sit on the same structure, so a substitute teacher or a new coordinator can see exactly where a class stands.
What you can do today
Classes and sections
Set up grades and sections once, and attendance, fees and exams all use the same structure.
Subject registry
The school’s list of subjects, assigned to classes with a teacher each and marked optional where needed. Copy a class’s subjects to another class in one step.
Timetable generator
Generate a first draft of the weekly timetable from the subjects and teachers assigned to each class, then adjust it. A class section cannot be double-booked.
Teacher substitutions
Assign a substitute when a teacher is away. The cover appears in the substitute’s own workspace for that day.
Teacher workload
Periods per week for every teacher against their limit, so a new timetable does not overload one person.
Class diary
What was taught and what homework was set, by class, section, subject and date. Parents see it in the portal.
Lesson planning
Teachers draft plans against the syllabus. A reviewer approves them or sends them back with comments, and only published plans reach parents.
Curriculum and syllabus
Chapters, topics and learning objectives for each class and subject, which lesson plans are written against.
Notes Studio
Teachers prepare clean, printable notes for a class or subject and download them as PDF.
Learning Hub
Interactive 3D models that teachers attach to a class, subject and chapter, to turn and explore during a lesson.
Textbooks
Which books apply to which class, kept as one reference for the school.
Academic calendar
Terms, holidays, exam weeks and events on one shared calendar.

Questions schools ask
Can the timetable be made automatically?
Yes. DinoAcad generates a first draft from the subjects and teachers assigned to each class. You then move periods around and publish it.
Do parents see homework?
Yes. Class diary entries, meaning what was taught and the homework set, appear in the parent portal for the child’s class.
Who approves lesson plans?
Someone with review permission, usually a head of department or the principal. Approval and publishing are separate steps, and nobody can approve their own plan.
