Hostels & beds
Dormitories, capacity, bed allocations and vacating.
Boarding schools
Know where every boarder is, from reporting day to closing day
Hostels, beds, boarders' attendance, pocket money and the sick bay, in the same system as fees, exams and parent SMS.
In short
A boarding school management system tracks hostels, bed allocations and boarders' whereabouts alongside the rest of the school. Shulepoa allocates learners to hostels and beds, counts boarders present from reporting day to closing day, holds pocket money, records sick-bay visits and keeps parents informed by SMS.
What boarding adds to running a school
A day school has to know who came in today. A boarding school has to know who has reported, who is in which bed, who went home sick and how much pocket money each learner has left. When those live in separate exercise books, the answer is hard to find on the day a parent calls.
