Student Diary & ClassIQ
Overview
The Student Diary replaces the paper homework diary every parent remembers from their own school days — homework, classwork, reminders, a private note-for-one-child, a checklist, and file attachments, composed by the class teacher each day and published for students and parents to read. This chapter continues Golden Jubilee CBSE's own story: Kabir Nair, a new admission into Class 1 – Section A, whose parent login was created automatically the same way Chapter 3 first showed. Every screen in this chapter was driven exactly as a real user would: nothing here was pre-loaded by a seed script.
This chapter also covers ClassIQ — an AI study assistant a teacher turns on by uploading their own syllabus PDF once; from then on, students and parents can ask questions about that subject and get an answer generated only from the teacher's own uploaded material, never the AI's general knowledge, with a source citation on every answer.
Key Concepts
- Publish / UnpublishA diary page is a draft until the teacher publishes it — only then can students and parents see it. Editing a published page requires explicitly unpublishing it first, so a page is never silently changed after a family has already read it.
- ClassIQA retrieval-grounded AI assistant, not a general chatbot — it answers strictly from the specific syllabus PDF a teacher uploaded for that subject and class, and says so plainly when a question falls outside that material.
- Diary AnalyticsSchool Admin and Principal see publish rate, read-receipt rate, and acknowledgement rate per class teacher — and can delegate that same visibility to one specific teacher for one specific class/section.
School Admin — Turning It On
Student Diary and ClassIQ are both governed by Feature Toggles, the same screen Chapter 1 introduced. A School Admin should confirm these are configured correctly before the first day a class teacher composes a page.
-
Open School Settings → Feature Toggles and scroll to the Student Diary (M10) section.
Lesson Plan Enabled,Syllabus Pacing Enabled, andAI Features Enabled(which gates ClassIQ) are each independent switches — a school can run the Diary without ClassIQ, or turn ClassIQ on only once teachers are ready to upload material.

New admissions pick up whatever the Student Portal settings say at the moment they're admitted. With
Student Portalon andMin Classset to 1, admitting a new Class 1 student — continuing the exact same Admission screen from Chapter 3 — automatically creates both a parent login and the child's own student login, with no separate step.

Under Diary → Diary Analytics, an Admin (or Principal) can delegate visibility into one class/section's analytics to the specific teacher responsible for it — useful the moment a subject teacher, not the class teacher, is the one actually accountable for a section's diary discipline.

Every question ClassIQ answers is logged — but the log and its cost-reference view are visible only to Stavion's own Super Admin console, deliberately not exposed to any role inside the school itself. This is a security decision: neither a Principal nor a School Admin can browse what students or parents have asked.
Class Teacher — Composing, Publishing, and ClassIQ
Mrs. Priya Sharma, Class 1 – A's class teacher, composes the day's diary page block by block, then publishes it for her class to read.
-
Opening Class Diary shows an empty draft for today, with the class auto-selected. Every block type below is added the same way — pick a tile, fill it in.
Figure 11.158. A fresh draft page for Class 1 – A, with the seven block types available. -
A Homework block is tagged to a subject and a due date, and shows a live completion count — updated the moment any student in the class marks it done.
Figure 11.159. A Mathematics homework block — the "0 of 62 done" count updates live as the class completes it. -
An Individual Note is only ever visible to one child's own family — useful for a private word to a specific parent without the rest of the class seeing it.

The finished page — Homework, Reminder, an Individual Note, a Checklist, and an Attachment — is ready to publish.

Uploading Syllabus Material for ClassIQ
Before ClassIQ can answer a student's question, a teacher uploads the actual textbook or syllabus PDF for one subject and class — the same PDF they'd otherwise photocopy. One upload covers every student in that class (or one specific section, if a teacher wants to scope it more narrowly).
-
From Syllabus Upload, pick the class, leave section on "Whole class" to cover every section, choose the subject, and attach the PDF.

ClassIQ Preview lets a teacher try the exact same question-and-answer experience their students will get, against their own freshly uploaded material — nothing asked here counts toward real usage. Every answer shows which excerpt of the PDF it actually came from.
Figure 11.163. ClassIQ answering strictly from the uploaded PDF — explained the way a teacher would say it in class. 
Figure 11.164. Expanding "View sources" shows the exact textbook excerpt behind the answer — every answer is traceable back to the real material.
If a question falls outside what's actually in the uploaded PDF, ClassIQ says plainly that it can't find the answer in the syllabus material and suggests asking the teacher — it never falls back on the underlying AI model's own general knowledge for a subject that has real uploaded material to check against.
Publish, Unpublish, and Homework Completion
Publishing makes a page visible to the whole class. If a teacher needs to fix something afterward, the page must be explicitly unpublished first — there is no way to silently edit already-published content.
Student — Reading the Diary and Asking ClassIQ
Kabir logs in with his own student account — separate from his father's parent login — and lands on his own Diary.
-
The Diary Reader renders like a real paper diary page: homework, reminder, his own individual note, a checklist, and the attachment his teacher shared.
Figure 11.168. Kabir's own view of today's page, with a "Mark as done" button on the homework block. -
Marking homework done, writing his own private note, and ticking off a checklist item all persist immediately — reloading the page never resets any of them.
Figure 11.169. Homework marked done, one checklist item ticked, and his own note saved — all in one visit. -
From ClassIQ, Kabir picks Mathematics and asks a real question about what his teacher uploaded.

Parent — Reading, Acknowledging, and Asking on Kabir's Behalf
Kabir's father, Suresh Nair, sees his child's card on the Parent Dashboard — the same "My Children" pattern Chapter 9 already introduced for fees, timetable, and attendance.
-
The Diary action on Kabir's card opens the same Reader a student sees, from the parent's own side.

A parent's own reading of the page is what unlocks Acknowledge — the seal at the bottom of every published page confirming a parent has actually seen it — and replies are a private thread with the teacher, scoped to that one family.
Figure 11.172. Acknowledged, with a reply already sent back to Mrs. Sharma. -
A parent can also ask ClassIQ on their child's behalf — scoped automatically to that child's own class and subjects, with no separate picker needed for a single-child family.

Principal — Diary Analytics
A Principal's own visibility into the Diary is read-only and school-wide: publish rate, read-receipt rate, and acknowledgement rate per class teacher, plus the same "Manage Teacher Access" delegation an Admin can also use.
Read-receipt and acknowledgement rates are computed against every student actually on the class roster, not just the ones who have engaged — a low percentage here is a real, actionable signal for the Principal, not a display quirk.
