Jobs
Hire Susan Hooter
Hire two teachers. Nina Parker and Jessica Underwood recommended. At game start you need teachers with best experience in Social Sciences to fix education levels before end of month. April Raymund and Irina Jelabitch might do too, but first one will make it difficult to change school policies and second one has no quests.
Teacher assignments
Set Nina Parker to History and Underwood or other teacher to Geography. Assign only one subject to each teacher to simplify class management.
Students
Set timetables to alternate between History and Geography and copy Monday to other days. Try keeping Class 1 in Classroom 1 to ease finding students in school.
Move special students to first class. Class can hold up to 40 students. Move others to second class, if special students do not fit into first one. Key students are
- Daisy Maddox
- Lucas Hudson
- Oliver Dixon
- Peter Hooter
- Rie Perrier and Hana Fuda
- Sierra Hardman
Other students that you might want to put in first class for ease of management are Ameli Coppers, Eric Manson, Felicia Titsbig, Ginny Nightshade, Lindsey Melkers, Mandy Mayers, Sarah Lovegood.
Flag special students as favorites to ease finding them in public address system.
- Felicia Titsbig
- Lucas Hudson
- Peter Hooter
- Sierra Hardman
Other special students might be flagged as favorites too to put them on the top of the list. Once clubs get their presidents, those students might be flagged and put in the first class too.
Exit to close school management screen.
Downtown
Use map to get to Downtown
Advance time to 8:00. If you see Teacher, Librarian, Secretary, Personal Assistant or PTA NPCs on the list, flag them as favorites and ask about their job in personal information actions.Right clicking top left icon in character screen changes amount of information displayed about character. You can also ask about their hobbies, if you got no other things to do. No point in asking about the job, if teacher or other character is already hired.
Characters with ! next to their name have some quests and it is good idea to flag them as favorites in most of the cases early in game. Such NPCs will also have restricted interaction options in Interest action menu, when compared with other NPCs.
