Master Scheduler builds your specials & common-prep rotation, places lunch periods, and flags every conflict in plain English. Built by a working K–8 teacher. Simple school pricing — no per-teacher seat math.
Every fall, principals lose weekends to grids on whiteboards and color-coded post-its. Master Scheduler does the first draft for you so you can spend the time deciding, not drawing.
Not a feature buffet. Master Scheduler does the parts of building a rotation that take the longest, and gets out of your way for the rest.
The scheduler reserves each specialist's (day, period) slot before placing the next one. If one pattern can't fit every grade, it auto-adds a second pattern and tries again.
Grade-team common preps are the foundation of a workable rotation. The wizard places them first, protected from being overwritten by a wandering specialist. If you turn on Automate prep periods, the engine shuffles valid layouts — same draft on every Generate, reproducible.
Pick which periods are teacher lunch and which are student lunch in your bell schedule. The wizard auto-places each teacher's lunch in a free allowed period and flags any conflict in plain English. Per-period start / end / recess overrides are one slider away.
No cryptic solver output. When something can't be placed, you see exactly which grade, which period, why — and a suggested fix you can apply with one click. Service-configuration warnings (e.g., pull-out scheduled during a protected block) show up the same way.
Periods, bell or cycle, and how many teaching days are in your rotation. Bell-or-cycle lives behind a tidy disclosure so you don't see it unless you need it.
Your grade bands (K–8 + an optional Early Childhood track) and the specials you run. Each grade's common prep is set here — automate it or pick by hand.
Mark which periods are teacher lunch and which are student lunch. The wizard auto-places each teacher's lunch in a free allowed period — conflicts are flagged.
One click. Prep schedule, by-class view, cluster cards, EC track and a print packet appear. Conflicts come with plain-English fixes. Export CSV or print.
Hi — I'm Mr. B. I teach K–8 full-time. Every September I'd watch my building's leadership team lose a weekend to a whiteboard. Master Scheduler started as my own spreadsheet, then a small app, then this. Every feature has a story behind it from a real planning meeting.
It's not a venture-backed enterprise platform. There's no sales team and no SDR — just a working teacher who answers email. Simple school pricing, with a Scheduling Rescue option if you want help getting the first schedule built. If something doesn't fit your building, email me and I'll fix it — that email goes to me, not a queue.
Built for elementary specials & common-prep rotation planning. It creates a first draft, flags conflicts, and produces print/export packets. Honest scope: this is not a full SIS or HR staffing system.
For elementary schools that need a clean specials/common-prep rotation before the year starts. We help your team use Master Scheduler to build a first draft, flag conflicts, and produce a printable schedule packet.
