Class-Subject Overview

In this lesson, we'll explore the Class Subjects Module in SSMS.

Class Subjects is the bridge between Subjects and Classes, allowing you to define which subjects are taught in each class and assign teachers to each subject if needed.

Access Path: Academic → Class Subjects

Why Use Class Subjects?

This module is essential because it allows you to:

Class Subjects List Page

The page shows all class-subject assignments, including:

Column	Description
Class Name	The class where the subject is taught
Subject Name	The subject being taught
Assigned Teacher	The teacher responsible for this subject in this class
Actions	Edit and Delete buttons

Filtering Class Subjects

Use the filter dropdown at the top to:

• View all class-subject assignments

• Filter by a specific class

This helps you quickly find assignments for a particular class without scrolling through the entire list.

Assigning Subjects to a Class

There are two methods for assigning subjects:

Method 1: Individual Assignment

1. Click Add Class Subject

2. Fill in the details:

3. Click Save

Best for: Adding one subject at a time or making specific adjustments.

Method 2: Bulk Assignment

1. Click Bulk Assign

2. Select a Class

3. Check multiple Subjects from the list

4. Optionally assign teachers to each subject

5. Click Assign Selected

Best for: Setting up an entire class curriculum at once, especially at the beginning of the academic year.

Assigning Subject Teachers

A subject teacher:

• Teaches the specific subject in the assigned class

• Can enter grades for that subject

• Appears on the timetable

To assign a teacher:

1. Edit the class-subject assignment

2. Select a teacher from the dropdown

3. Save changes

Note: Teacher assignment is optional. You can set up subjects first and assign teachers later.

Understanding the Relationship

Each class can have its own teachers for the same subject. Here's an example:

Class: Grade 1

Class: Grade 2A

Notice how the same teacher (Ms. Caterine Juli) can teach different subjects across different classes. This ensures flexibility across your school's academic structure.

Editing Class Subjects

1. Locate the assignment in the list

2. Click the Edit icon (pencil)

3. Modify the teacher or status as needed

4. Click Update

Removing a Subject from a Class

1. Find the assignment you want to remove

2. Click the Delete icon (trash)

3. Confirm removal

Important: This does not delete the subject itself. It only removes the subject from that specific class. The subject remains available for other classes.
