Updating Bell Schedules

To update a Bell Schedule in SchoolMint Hero, navigate to Bell Schedules via Config > Bell Schedules. 

On the Bell Schedules page, you will see any Bell Schedules that have already been created. To edit an existing Bell Schedule, click the pencil icon on the right end of the relevant row. 

Creating a New Bell Schedule

1. To create a new Bell Schedule, select the green "Create Bell Schedule" button in the upper right-hand corner of the Bell Schedule page. 

2. Give the Bell Schedule a Name and Description, then click save.

3. On the next page, add as many periods/blocks/increments as you need in your schedule. Note: The Reference Code on the bell schedule needs to match the Period Column that is on a student schedule in order for teachers to see their rosters correctly (See below for additional information).

4. Add an Ext. code, if necessary. The Ext code is only needed if tardies need to write back to a specific period. Learn more about tardy write-back. 

5. Click Save. 

Note: You need to add "AM" or "PM" after the time in order to save correctly.

Additional Information about Reference Codes: 

A reference code is the data expression that is used on the schedule file we import which denotes the period or block for class periods. A number of different factors make them vary from school to school.

We recommend that you verify that the reference codes on the bell schedules are correct by first confirming the reference codes in your SIS and then verifying the Hero bell schedule reference codes match.
