What the Learning Journal PDF contains
The Learning Journal PDF is a formatted document that brings together everything recorded for a child:
- Cover page, child's photo, name, class, school name and logo, and the date range of the journal
- Curriculum progress summary, a visual overview of the child's progress across all assessed domains
- Observations timeline, all observations in chronological order, each with its linked curriculum indicators, photos, and any notes
- Checklist summary (if applicable), a colour-coded view of all checklist items and their current status
- Milestones page, physical, cognitive, language, and social milestones achieved during the period
- Teacher's summary note (optional), a free-text comment field you can fill in before generating the PDF
Downloading the observation summary PDF
- Go to Students from the sidebar and click the student's name to open their profile.
- Click the Observations tab.
- Click Download summary (top-right of the Observations panel). The button only appears once at least one observation has been recorded.
- The PDF is compiled immediately and downloads to your device. It includes all observations recorded for the student, with photos, dates, and linked curriculum indicators.
Downloading summaries for a whole class
There is no one-click class-wide export. To download summaries for all students in a class, open each student's profile in turn and click Download summary. For a class of 15–20 children this typically takes around five minutes. If you need a bulk export, contact support@schoolvault.ng with your school name and class section.
What parents see
Parents with portal access see their child's observations in real time. They do not need you to generate or share anything — observations appear in the parent portal automatically as you record them. If a parent wants a PDF copy for their own records, they can ask you to download and share the summary, or you can print it during a parent meeting.
