School configurations for a new year

Before importing school data or enabling SIS synchronization, please review and update the following configurations to ensure your Radix LMS functions correctly. Most plugin settings can be found under the “School → Radix Plugins & Blocks” menu.

🔧 Core Plugin Settings

For schools importing data manually (via spreadsheet):

• Confirm and update the school year and term dates.

• Ensure the date format is YYYY-MM-DD.

• These dates are usually copied from the previous year — double-check that the year is correct.

• Make sure the offered grade levels are accurate.

For auto-sync schools:

• You only need to update the school year field.

📝 Assignment Plugin Settings

• Review and update the grading cut-off and category hiding dates. These control:

  • When the grading window closes for each term.

  • When grading categories are hidden from activities.

• Verify the assignment restrictions are set correctly for your instructional model.

• Verify the other important assignment settings such as “Missing assignments” and “Insufficient activity and grade alerts”.

📅 Non-School Days / Holidays

• Add or update school holidays under the Non-school Days/Holidays setting.

• These dates affect assignment deadlines, lesson plans, weekly progress emails, attendance, and the school calendar.

• If you're not syncing your calendar from an SIS, you may choose to display these days on the Radix LMS calendar.

Auto-sync schools do not need to enter holidays; these will be pulled automatically from the SIS.

👥 Staff users

• Review the staff user list to ensure non-returning staff are disabled or removed:

  • Navigate to School → Users → Staff.

  • You may also permanently delete these accounts.

⚖️ Behavior System

• If your student code of conduct has changed, update the settings accordingly:

  • Go to School → Behavior → Behavior Configurations.

  • Ensure the Minor/Major violations, consequences, and recognitions reflect the latest policies.

🏷 Attendance Codes

• If your attendance codes have changed or new ones need to be added:

  • Contact Radix Support to request these updates.

  • ⚠️ Attendance codes cannot be changed once attendance tracking has started.

✅ Final Review

• It is strongly recommended to review all other plugin settings under Radix Plugins & Blocks to ensure they are tailored to your school’s needs.
