Creating a school year is one of the first steps administrators take to get started in Ella. First, click the blue "new" button in the "School Years" page in your Ella domain. Then, input information about the school year when asked.
For each school year, Ella requires the following information from Ella users:
| Item | Reason | Template Link |
| School Calendar | For students to plan their schoolwork schedule | School Calendar Template |
| Block Schedule | So that we know what blocks fall on which days (if there is a block schedule) | Block Schedule Template |
| Bell Schedule | For students to plan their schoolwork schedule | Bell Schedule Template |
| Student Contact Info | To invite students to Ella | Student Contact Info Template |
| Teacher Contact Info | To invite teachers to use Ella | Teacher Contact Info Template |
| Teacher Schedule | To associate the right teacher with the right classes | Teacher Schedule Template |
| Student Schedule | So that we know which students are in which classes | Student Schedule Template |
