What is in the class teacher hub

Class list

Admission number, full name, parent contact, optional medical notes, and school status for every learner.

Attendance register

Take the register by date and mark everyone present in one tap. See each learner's attendance rate.

Performance insights

Cross-subject performance, the class average, your best students, the most improved, and learners who need help.

Subjects and assessments

Add the subjects your class takes and create assessments. The marks you enter feed the performance view.

Class officials

Appoint class officials by role, such as a dining captain.

Discipline records

Log each issue and the action taken, and copy a ready-made SMS or WhatsApp message to the parent.

Parent and class meetings

Log meetings with notes, so what was agreed is written down.

Message parents

Message the whole class or selected parents on WhatsApp, SMS, or email, with templates for common situations.

Download as PDF

Common Questions

What can I do in the class teacher hub?

The class teacher hub keeps everything a class teacher records in one place: the class list (admission number, full name, parent contact, optional medical notes, and school status), the attendance register, performance insights, subjects and assessments, class officials, discipline records, parent and class meeting notes, and messages to parents. You can download any tab as a PDF.

How do I set up my class teacher class?

Add the classes and subjects you teach first, in Classes. Then open Class Teacher and choose Set as My Class Teacher Class. Add your learners with their admission number, full name, and parent contact, and you can take the register, record assessments, and message parents from the same hub.

Can multiple teachers from the same school use DARASA?

Yes. Each teacher signs up for their own account, with no school approval needed, and each teacher's classes, students, and marks stay private to them. DARASA does not have a shared school licence or admin dashboard at the moment. If you're a head teacher or deputy head interested in DARASA for your staff, get in touch through our Contact page.

How do I message parents through DARASA?

First save each parent's phone number or email in the student's record (Kenyan numbers like 0712 345 678 are converted to international format for you). Then open the class teacher hub and go to Message Parents, select students or leave none selected to message the whole class, choose WhatsApp, SMS, or Email, and pick a template (general update, meeting invitation, fee reminder, or performance concern) or type your own message. For WhatsApp and SMS you tap the link for each parent and your own app opens with the message ready; for email, one message opens addressed to the selected parents. You press send.

Can I export student grades from DARASA?

You can download PDFs from across DARASA: the gradebook for a class, class analytics, each class teacher tab (class list, performance, attendance, and more), schemes of work, and AI marking schemes. There is no CSV or Excel export of the gradebook at the moment.

Does DARASA work offline?

Yes, once DARASA is open. Your changes are saved on your device first and sync to the cloud automatically when you're back online, so a dropped signal doesn't cost you your work. Open DARASA while you have a connection, then keep going. You do need internet to sign in, to sync across devices, and for the AI tools such as the marking scheme generator and schemes of work.

Is my student data safe in DARASA?

Each teacher's data is private to their own account and protected by access controls in the database, so other teachers cannot see your students' names, marks, or parent contacts. Uploaded resources are kept in private storage. When you use the AI tools, the exam content you upload is sent to third-party AI providers (Cerebras and/or OpenRouter) to generate the scheme, so leave learners' personal details out of exam papers. Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect, who we work with, your rights under Kenya's Data Protection Act, 2019, and how to ask for your data to be deleted.
