What culture settings are available?

This "Culture" category on the Settings page allows you to determine important culture goals for your school, such as whether you’ll use a demerit and merit system, which fields are required when recording incidents, and more. 

• Hide Dollar Symbol: Some schools use a cash program to allow students to earn rewards based on merits. This is completely optional. Use this button to hide or show the currency symbol.

• Required Incident Fields: You can require certain fields are completed when a staff member enters an Incident. Select those fields here so you can be sure to gather all required information.

• Show All Sections on the Class Attendance Page: You can choose whether teachers have access to all sections every day, or just the sections we see as meeting today.

• Show Demerit Time: Including a demerit picker when entering behaviors allows teachers to specify when a certain behavior happened, beyond when it is entered.

Note: dark blue text indicates your selection(s) on all dropdown menus.

• Student Barcode Value: If you use a scanner to scan barcodes for attendance in your front office, you can connect that to Schoolrunner using this setting.

• Use Demerits: Do you track demerits separately from merits, rather than an overall balance?

• Week Start Day: Indicate which day your school week begins if it doesn’t start on Monday.

• Weekly Deposits: If you give students a weekly deposit, setting this to Yes will ensure that this is taken into account when calculating weekly averages.
