[sims] September 2020 Copy Lesson Marks To Session setup question

[KeyData]

Hello,

 

We use Lesson Monitor with years 7 to 11.

Is it possible to use Lesson Monitor Setup to allow us to do the following for September 2020?

1. Years 7 and 8 to start at 8.45 and be registered in tutor until 9.00 am getting separate AM session and lesson period 1 marks.
   
2. Year 9,10 and 11 will start school at 9.10 am and go straight to lesson 1 which is to be used to write to their AM session.
   
3. Years 7 and 8 will not attend a separate PM registration period but will attend lesson 5 which will be used to write to their PM session.
   
4. Years 9, 10 and 11 will attend one after lesson at 1:50 pm and then will attend PM registration with their tutors at 2:45 pm.
   

Finally, if this is possible, once it has been set in SIMS can this be changed part way through the year or is it permanent?

 

For 2019/20 we used Lesson Monitor with 5 lessons and a separate AM session but lesson 5 writing back for the PM session. I am just not sure how to have our two bubbles work differently.

I am wondering if I have to use Earliest Marks Options but I don't know if this would allow us to setup the scenario we want above.

 

Thanks

Mark

Hello, Did you manage to find any solution for above? We are looking something like this but can't see any option is SIMS.

I think you need the Multiple Timetable licence so that you can define different period times for different 'segments' of the school.

Hello ICT_Pro,

 

Capita came back to my logged call with this solution which works for us. We only set up our KS4 (year's 9 to 11) with earliest marks for AM as we use period 5 for all years for our PM session.

"I am contacting you from the Capita SIMS help desk in regards to your query on the way you can set up lesson monitor next year for the different year groups in their bubbles with different registration time formats. You have mentioned in your notes whether it would be possible to use the 'Earliest Marks' setup with the Lesson monitor setup page to achieve the desired result with the set up you have mentioned, I can confirm that this will work.If you set this up for all students at the school for both AM and PM, any students that have a registration mark entered directly into the AM or PM session will count that mark as their session mark and this will not be overwritten by any lesson marks taken later in the day.For the students that don't have a mark entered into their AM or PM session and require the mark to be copied from the next lesson, this will be copied from the lesson following the registration session. This is what I have been advising other schools to do in similar situations. This setting can be changed mid year if needed and it will not cause any issues, when you need to remove this setting simply go into the lesson monitor setup page and untick the 'AM sessions' and 'PM sessions' boxes within the Earliest marks section, panel 4."
