1:45 In order to track attendance, you need to go to attendance. From here, you will see either the per day or the per session attendance you have for the day in order to track it.
1:57 For this example, we have only per session attendance students. And all you need to do is simply click where it says track attendance to reveal the students list and simply start marking them as present or absent or any other status.
2:12 You can do this action in bulk, but let’s first clear the attendance and restore it to the unspecified status and then click on mark.
2:20 Mark unspecified attendance, mark everyone as present and you can also work in reverse if someone was late, let’s say that John here was late and you can also comment and say how many minutes he was late.

What does the teacher dashboard show?
Once logged in, teachers land on a clean home dashboard, designed for daily use. From here, they can instantly see:
- Today’s lessons and upcoming classes
- Past and future courses
- School events
- Student and staff birthdays
The left-hand navigation keeps all core actions, one click away. That’s including schedule, attendance, classes, and messages. This is part of how school management software helps teachers keep their daily work in one place.
Teacher takeaway: You don’t need to hunt for information. Everything you use during the school day is easy to find, which helps DreamClass fit naturally into your routine.
How do teachers manage schedules and calendars?
Teachers can review their schedule in multiple ways depending on how they plan their time, using built-in scheduling and timetable tools:
- Daily or weekly navigation
- Monthly calendar view
- Lesson-focused views showing upcoming sessions at a glance
Events and lessons appear together, giving teachers a complete picture of their workload. Schedules can also be printed when needed.
Teacher benefit: Having one clear schedule helps you plan your day and avoid last-minute surprises, even when schedules change.
How does attendance tracking work in DreamClass?
Attendance tracking is designed to take seconds, not minutes. And that’s using the same system schools rely on for attendance management.
Teachers can simply:
- Open the attendance section
- Select the lesson or session
- Mark students as present, absent, late, or unspecified
Bulk actions allow teachers to mark all students at once and then adjust individual statuses as needed. Notes, such as how late a student arrived, can be added directly.
Teacher benefit: Attendance stays simple and consistent, so you can focus on your class instead of paperwork.
What can teachers do inside a class?
Each class has its own dedicated space where teachers can:
- View enrolled students
- Review attendance settings
- Post announcements
- Access class-specific tabs for grades, assignments, and materials
Everything related to the class lives in one place. As a result, teachers rely less on external tools, and schools maintain cleaner, more consistent records.
How do teachers enter and manage grades?
The gradebook mirrors how teachers already think about grading and reflects the practical benefits of modern gradebook software.
So, teachers can:
- Click directly into grade cells to enter scores
- Organize assessments into folders such as terms, quizzes, or exams
- Add new grades using simple add actions
Folder averages and final grades are calculated automatically, based on the grading structure. This reduces manual errors, prevents last-minute grade disputes, and cuts down on follow-up questions from families at the end of each term.
Teacher benefit: Automatic calculations save time and help reduce grading mistakes, especially during busy weeks.
How are assignments, performance, and report comments handled?
From the class area, teachers can:
- Create and review assignments
- Track performance across assessments
- Add narrative comments for report cards
Final grades and performance data are always visible, helping teachers prepare evaluations without last-minute scrambling. Administrators benefit from consistent, professional reporting across the school.
How do teachers share learning materials?
This is equally important, due to its time-consuming nature. Teachers can upload:
- Assignment attachments
- Class resources
- Internal notes for lessons
Materials stay connected to the class, ensuring students and teachers always reference the correct content. This approach reduces confusion and limits the need for email attachments or separate storage tools.
How does communication work with students and families?
DreamClass makes communication practical, not disruptive, with built-in tools similar to dedicated school communication features.
Teachers can:
- View and search students by name
- Filter students using tags, such as, say, international students
- Contact students directly via email
If your school works with guardians, teachers can also view and contact families from the same area. Colleagues are listed as well, making internal communication just as simple.
Can teachers manage their own account settings?
Teachers can manage their own profiles by:
- Updating personal information
- Changing usernames
- Resetting passwords
This autonomy reduces routine admin requests and keeps accounts secure.
What does all this mean for schools evaluating DreamClass?
For teachers, the biggest concern with any new system is whether it will actually make daily work easier or add more steps.
This walkthrough highlights what matters most for growing schools:
- No technical setup required for teachers
- Clear daily workflows
- Fast attendance and grading
