The Staff Room
The teachers' own room of the portal. Students do not enter here. In this room stand the school's notices, the class lists by level, and the manager's grant desk.
Notices
The notice board stands ready. School notices — changes of time, examination dates, words to the students — will be posted here by the staff. Tonight the board is new and carries one notice only:
The Virtual Portal of GBHS BAMESSING is open. Registration has begun. The teacher confirms every registration himself.
Class lists by level
One list for each classroom — L1 to L12 — naming the students of that level and the state of each one's access. The lists are drawn from the school's own register: a name stands on a list only when that student has truly registered.
| Classroom | List |
|---|---|
| L1 – L4 | Foundation lists — open when the manager's tools are armed |
| L5 – L8 | Middle lists — open when the manager's tools are armed |
| L9 – L12 | Advanced lists — open when the manager's tools are armed |
The manager's grant desk
Here the manager does the two grants of this school, and no one else does them anywhere:
- Grant trial — on a confirmed registration, with its confirmation code before him, he opens the student's trial period. He sets the trial's length himself.
- Grant paid access — after the student has paid the school's fee by MTN Mobile Money and he has confirmed the payment, he opens the student's continued access. The portal records his grant only; it never touches money.
- Expired — when a trial or paid period runs out, the door closes by itself and the student's state stands expired until the manager grants again.
The full order of the grant is set out at the Manager's Door.
Arming of this room. The Staff Room's working tools — live class lists and the two grant buttons — are switched on when the manager's own email address is wired to the portal and the school's one-minute setup is run. Until then this room explains and holds its place, and registrations are received safely at the house mailbox and passed to the manager. No list shown here is invented, and no grant is made by any other hand.
