I have recently moved to a school that has a mixture of vertical and horizontal register. Having never worked with vertical before I find it very strange that each teacher on the vertical needs to go into two different registers to do am or pm register. One for year 7 and then another for year 8. Is this really the only way to register the students... Is there a way of viewing them all in one register but keep separate group names, ie 8as and 7as. Hoping somebody may be able to assist.
