Timetables & Live Classes: A Practical SkoolPro Guide

SkoolPro Team·28 September 2026·2 min read

A timetable sets expectations, while a class-session record shows the teaching activity recorded during the day. SkoolPro connects the school schedule with teacher Start Class and Finish Class actions so families and school leaders can follow relevant period updates.

Before you begin

Set the class, teacher, subject and period times carefully. Include breaks and review teacher assignments before saving changes to the timetable.

How the workflow works

1. Build the timetable

Assign subjects, teachers and times to class periods. Add breaks and review the day before saving.

2. Open today’s period

The teacher reviews the scheduled class and subject before beginning the lesson.

3. Start the session

Record Start Class so the school can see the live session and relevant parent updates can follow.

4. Finish & follow up

Finish the class and add homework where needed. The completed session becomes part of the school-day activity.

A practical school example

Class 6-B has mathematics first. The teacher opens the scheduled period and starts the session. After teaching, the teacher finishes it and adds homework where appropriate, giving the next teacher and families a clearer record of the day.

What to check before relying on the result

A recorded session is a teacher action, not a classroom observation system. Keep timetable changes accurate so families are not interpreting updates against an outdated schedule.

Try the workflow with your school team

The illustration uses sample data; it does not log into a school or change any records. When reviewing the real workflow, check the intended school, person and date before saving or sharing information.
