Day 1: the school and the classes
Create the school, the academic year and the classes you actually run this term. Keep names short and consistent so later imports match.
Day 2: learners and parents
Upload the learner list with admission numbers and at least one parent phone. Fix the rows ElimuDesk flags before you invite anyone.
Day 3: fees
Enter this term’s fee items, or copy last term and adjust. Connect the school Paybill so payments land on the right learner.
Day 4: staff
Invite the bursar, class teachers and the head. Give each person only the role they need, then have one teacher sign in with the email code.
Day 5: one real task
Take one class register, or send one fee reminder to a single stream. A small live task beats a week of setup with nobody using the desk.
