The seven registers and what each answers
All seven open from the class. All are your class’s registers — open
one for a class you are not the homeroom teacher of and you get an empty
page, not a permission error.
Students are listed in the order they were enrolled, not
alphabetically. To find a particular child on a longer list, use your
browser’s find (Ctrl+F / Cmd+F) rather than running a finger down the
names.
Two shapes of list — and why that is not a detail
Before the individual registers, one thing is worth understanding, because how you may read them depends on it. The registers come in two shapes:- Whole-class lists — every child has a row, including one who has filed nothing. These are: contacts, pickup, self-return and image consent.
- Statement-only lists — a row exists only for a child something was filed for. These are: health, after-school care and activities.
Class contact list
Columns: Student, Guardian contact, Status. A completion counter sits at the top: “Completed: (n) of (n)”. Each row also carries a short block of people authorized to collect the child, with the document number masked. That is a convenience so you need not switch registers while on the phone; the full pickup register has its own list and its own printout. When the list is empty: “This class has no students yet, or you do not have access to its contact details.”Student health
Heading: “Student health — (school year)”, and below it “Statements filed: (n)”. Columns: Student, Allergies, Medication, Diet. A field the parent left blank shows “Not stated” — never an empty cell, because an empty cell reads as “no allergies”. This is a statement-only list: only children whose parent wrote something appear.There is no “in case of emergency” phone number here, and there will not
be — the emergency contact field was deliberately removed from the health
statement because it duplicated the contact list. The app points you from
here to the Class contact list instead. Who to call comes from
contacts, not from health.
Pickup authorizations
Heading: “Pickup authorizations — (school year)”, and below it “Students in the class: (n)”. This is a whole-class list: a child with nobody named still gets a row, reading “Nobody — guardians only”. A missing list therefore does not block a parent collecting their own child — that is the default state, not a fault. For each person you see their name, a masked document number and a full phone number. The document number appears in full only on the printout — see below.Self-return
Columns: Student, Number of statements, Status. The status is either “May walk home alone” or “No declaration”. Note that the middle column holds a count, not guardians’ names. That is deliberate: the register answers “may this child leave alone”, not “which parent signed it” — a guardian’s name adds nothing here and is one more piece of personal data on screen. A self-return statement cannot be withdrawn in the app. If a parent changes their mind mid-year they will tell you directly — the register will keep showing the statement until the end of the school year. So do not read it as today’s position if a parent has told you otherwise in person.Image consent
Heading: “Image consent — (school year)”. Columns: Student, Position, Publication places. The position has three states, and the third is separate on purpose:
Consent is never blanket: the Publication places column names the
specific places (school website, social media, printed materials).
Consent covers only those listed — a dash there means none was named.
The register reminds you: “The list shows the positions parents have
sent. No statement means no information, not a refusal. Zebrania does not
keep the school’s consent records — the school does.” Zebrania relays the
parent’s position; the consent paperwork stays with the school.
After-school care
Columns: Student, From (morning), Until (after lessons) — times asHH:MM, a dash where no hour was given.
The list holds only enrolled children: “This list shows only the students
enrolled in after-school care, with their hours. We do not build a list
of students who are not enrolled.”
Activities
Columns: Student, Activity. You view one activity at a time — switching between religion and ethics. There is no “not attending” column and no completion percentage, and that is not an oversight. Religious belief is specially protected data: a declaration of attendance may be collected, a declaration of non-attendance may not. The list of children who are not signed up does not exist at any level of the app — it cannot be extracted, because it is never built.Printouts
Any of the seven prints with ordinary page printing — headers and buttons drop off the paper by themselves. But two registers have their own separate print page, because they put more on paper than on screen. That distinction is deliberate: a separate printout is a separate, named disclosure of data.The pickup printout — for the door and the office
The situation: someone arrives at 15:00 to collect a child, and the person releasing them has no Zebrania account. This printout shows the full document number, which the screen hides — precisely so identity can be checked when the child is handed over. It adds a Document number column, and the whole class fits on one sheet with no pagination.The health printout — for the classroom wall and the school trip
The situation: you are away with the class, there is no signal on the coach, and a child has an allergic reaction. The columns are the same as on screen — the printout discloses nothing new. The only thing it adds is paper: the list can go on the wall or travel with you. Note that the printout is also a statement-only list — deliberately, even though on paper it looks like a complete class. Nobody can correct a printed row, so no sheet may exist that implies a child not listed is healthy.The other five
Contacts, self-return, image consent, after-school care and activities print exactly what is on your screen — with the document number masked where it is masked. They have no separate print page because they have nothing extra to show.A single student’s record
From the class list in administration you can open one student’s card. It holds the enrolment status and a roll-up of every kind of statement — contacts, self-return, activities, after-school care, image consent, pickup, health.The student card shows only whether something was filed, when it
last changed and how many entries there are. Never the content.
To read a statement itself, go to the relevant class register — each row
on the card links there. For health the app says it outright: “The
statement’s content is shown only on the health statement page.”
What is deliberately not shown, and why
This is where Zebrania’s data model becomes concrete for you. The principle: the data belongs to the parent, and the parent shares it with you as the person running the class — not with “the school” as an institution and not with staff at large. Everything below follows from that.Who can see these registers
Access belongs to the homeroom teacher of that specific class and to the people running the school (administration and the secretary). A teacher who only teaches their own subject in that class has no access to its registers — teaching in a class does not by itself grant sight of statements; the homeroom role or an administrative role does. There is no gradation here: a homeroom teacher sees exactly what administration sees on these registers. The difference is reach — a homeroom teacher sees their own class, administration sees every class in the school.Printing grants no extra access. Somebody who cannot open a register on
screen cannot open its printout either — the print page checks the same
thing the ordinary page does. The pickup printout adds one field, not one
permission.
An empty list has two causes, and the app does not distinguish them
When a register is empty you see a sentence such as: “Nobody from this class is visible, or you do not have access to this list.” That “or” is deliberate. The app does not say whether the class is empty or you lack access — that fact alone would tell an outsider something about the class. If you expect students there and see nothing, check with the school office whether you are actually assigned as that class’s homeroom teacher.What next
