Teacher

Teachers are the core operators of Schoolence. They manage lessons, grade work, take attendance, and communicate with students and parents.

Access note: When a teacher registers, their school membership starts as pending approval. Real school data (students, classes, attendance) is inaccessible until a principal or authorised admin approves the membership. See Access Approvals.
