A principal’s day does not happen at a desk. A teacher calls in sick at 7:30. A parent waits for a reply. Fee proofs pile up. Until now most of that waited for a laptop. The Principal App moves the daily work to your phone.
Short answer: the Principal App is a separate Principal login inside the same SkoolPro app that parents, teachers and drivers already use. It is now rolling out to SkoolPro schools. Daily work happens on the phone. Some setup work stays on the web panel.
One app, a separate Principal login
There is no extra download. Open the SkoolPro app on Android or iPhone and choose the Principal login card on the welcome screen. Sign in with your email and password, then set a PIN. The app opens with your school’s logo and name, and locks until you enter the PIN.
What a principal can do from the phone
Dashboard
See students, teachers and classes, today’s attendance and how many classes have marked it, pending leaves, staff present, late, on leave, absent or not marked, today’s classes, a 30-day attendance trend and class-wise attendance.
Teacher attendance, leaves and class covers
- Check teacher attendance for any past day and mark a teacher present, absent or on leave.
- Approve or reject teacher and student leaves, and teacher half-day requests, with a comment.
- Assign a cover when a teacher is absent. Edit or cancel it later and download the monthly cover report.
This sits on top of the same records the teacher management and attendance features already keep.
Fee payment proofs
Parents pay the school by JazzCash, EasyPaisa or bank and upload a photo of the proof. You open the photo on your phone and approve it with the amount, or reject it with a note. A part payment is recorded as a part payment. SkoolPro does not take the money. The school confirms it. See fee collection for the whole flow.
Daily alerts
On working days the app sends three push notifications, each with its own switch in your profile:
- About 30 minutes after school starts: how many teachers are present, late and not marked.
- About an hour after school starts: which classes have no student attendance yet. Nothing is sent if every class is marked.
- At the end of the school day: fees collected, fee proofs to verify, leaves pending and teachers absent.
Parents, announcements, events and meetings
- Reply to parent chats and mark them resolved.
- Send a school message to parents, filtered by class or student.
- Post announcements to everyone, teachers or parents and see “Read by” counts. See parent-teacher communication.
- Create events and holidays for the whole school or chosen classes.
- Start, join and end parent video meetings.
- Chat with SkoolPro support.
Students, teachers, attendance and homework
Browse the student and teacher lists. The teacher list never shows a CNIC or a salary. Open attendance reports by class and by student, and check which homework is covered and which is pending.
Exams and result cards
Follow each exam’s progress and see class-wise results. Create result card PDFs with the school’s logo and send them to parents in one tap. The numbers come from the exam results saved in SkoolPro. See exams and result cards.
Fees, expenses and school buses
- See fee totals and defaulters, and open a student’s fee ledger to read the balance.
- Add an expense from your phone.
- See your school buses on a live map with the running trip. Bus tracking shows how parents and drivers use the same data.
You can also set your own profile photo, which appears with your name.
What stays on the web panel
The phone handles daily work. Setup and heavy jobs stay on a laptop at admin.skoolpro.pk: bulk import, promotion, classes and sections, the timetable, ID cards and certificates, fee vouchers and registers, salary, settings and scheduling parent meetings. The app has a “Laptop only” list that names each of them, so you always know where to go.
When it opens for your school
The Principal App is now rolling out to SkoolPro schools, one school at a time. If a principal signs in before it is switched on for the school, the app says so. Which screens you see also depends on the features your school uses.
To see it running, ask for a demo. If you run many schools or work for an education authority, read about SkoolPro Oversight.
