Teacher App Guide
Complete guide for teachers to use the School Orbit app — attendance, homework, marks, gatepass, syllabus and more.
Teachers log in with the username and password created from the dashboard. The app is role-based — it automatically shows only the features the teacher has permission to access.

The app has 5 tabs at the bottom for quick access:

💡 Permissions Control What You See
Not all teachers see all features. The app shows only what the teacher's role allows. If a feature is missing, ask the school admin to enable that permission in Roles & Permissions.
