Close a school year and move students up
Set your school year dates, then close the year when it ends. Closed classes stay read-only, and Move up makes next year's class with the same students.
Steps
Step 1: Open Classes and press the school year button at the top, such as School year: 2026-27.
The first time, Cazuz asks When does your school year run? Fill in Starts and Ends, then press Save. Classes and reports sort into years by these dates.

Common questions
Is anything deleted when I close a year?
No. Closed classes stay on the Classes page, read-only, with every report. Only clearing a year deletes it, and Cazuz asks you to confirm and warns you first.
Is Move up free?
It is part of Complete and School. Closing a year, and looking at old years, works on any plan that has Classes.
