SIMS Brackets for all pupils query

[StatoBont]

Hi

 

New onto this forum, have been working with SIMS for many years but each year it surprises me with a new complication!

 

I was wondering if anyone out there can help me with a problem I have, our new academic year has started today, all the pupils have moved up a year but all the pupils are in brackets and I don't know why? I have applied the timetable so no issue there, all the pupils appear in classes when i roll the date forward but they still all appear in brackets.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Going from memory I think it's something to do with the class membership dates not aligning with the academic year dates ?

I have had it in the past when the class memberships were done from the first teaching day which was some days after the start of the academic year.

I think on the first day of actual lessons the brackets vanished.

Thats great thanks so much for your help, all the classes seem to be fine, I can put in attendance marks in them, timetables are all fine, so it must be just an issue with the dates. My academic year shows from 1/9/23 - 19/7/24, my curriculum dates show 1/9/23 - 30/8/24 so guessing thats where the difference is.

Oddly enough we had this same problem this morning with all students year groups and reg groups suddenly appearing in brackets on the first day of the new academic year in SIMS. Not great as our MIS Manager retired yesterday! Along with the brackets we also found that the registration group in a student record was in red. If we selected the drop down we could see a list of not completely relevant groups and then couldn't return to the original - as if it didn't exist. Pastoral structure etc all looked fine though. I found this on the ESS website and it worked for us. Brackets gone and registration groups all good. Hope it helps you too
