# Sunday School

The Sunday School module helps you manage children's ministry programs with dedicated portals for administrators, teachers, and parents.

<Info>
  **Web**: Full Sunday School setup and all portals (Admin, Teacher, Parent).
  **Mobile**: Sunday School shows **"Coming Soon"** in the More tab — use the web app for Sunday School access.

## Overview

Sunday School provides:

* **Class Management** - Organize students into grade-based classes
* **Teacher Assignment** - Assign teachers to specific classes
* **Parent Access** - Parents view their children's classes and progress

## Best Practices

1. **Organize by age** - Match your ministry's age groups
2. **Assign multiple teachers** - Have backup teachers for each class
3. **Keep rosters updated** - Review class rosters regularly
4. **Track attendance consistently** - Take attendance every session
