View source for At the end of the school year

At the end of each reporting period (usually at the end of the school year), you should make a backup of your reports.  This should be done several reasons, including:

* The Past Reports system may not be a verbatim copy of what a report looked like in a previous year.  The past report system tries to adapt to changes that are made to things like the school logo, teacher names, class names, subject names, etc - so if these are changed then so will the past reports.
* If you cancel your subscription then, later, you wish to view a past report then you may not be able to access it.  However, if you do cancel then we allow the administrator to make a [[GDPR|GDPR backup]] of the data so you can transfer it to whatever new system you may be using.


The best way to do this is by making a [[Backing up to PDF|backup to PDF]].   This will allow you to keep exact copies on your own school computer that you can print or refer to later.
