Report cards in your format, versioned so reprints stay honest

SchoolDeck reproduces your existing report card format rather than imposing one — your components, grade bands, remarks column and layout. Templates are versioned by academic year, so a card reprinted years later comes out exactly as it was issued, not on this year’s template.

Reproducing an existing format is part of implementation, not a customisation charge. A format that changes mid-year is a new version, not an edit.

Schools do not redesign a report card to suit a vendor. If the software cannot produce yours — including the awkward parts, the handwritten-looking remarks column and the odd grade band somebody agreed to in 2019 — you will keep a parallel spreadsheet. And then you have two sources of truth, which is worse than having one bad one.

01

Why versioning is not a nicety

Families ask for duplicates years later, usually at exactly the moment they need them for an admission elsewhere. If your format has changed in between — and most have, since UDISE codes and PEN became expected — a reprint on the current template is a different document from the one you issued.

Each template is stamped with the academic year it applies to. Reprinting a 2023 card uses the 2023 template, with the grade bands and the layout that were in force then, and is marked as a duplicate carrying the original issue date.

What goes on the card, and where it comes from

Nothing on the card is typed twice. Every field is read from the record it already lives on.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Phrased the way they arrive, answered so each one stands on its own.

Can you reproduce our existing report card exactly?

Yes, and it is a standard part of implementation rather than a customisation charge. Bring the card you issue today, including anything unusual about it; reproducing it is the work, not an obstacle to it.

What happens when we change the format?

The new format becomes a new version applying from the academic year you set. Cards already issued keep their own version, so a reprint of an earlier year still matches what the family holds.

Can report cards be generated for a whole section at once?

Yes, in one pass, with any student missing a required component reported before generation rather than producing an incomplete card.
