Attendance and More Administrative Assistance

I had the opportunity to meet with the Sue Prutton and Lori Villareal, on behalf of Administrative Assistants and Attendance, and because it was recommended by multiple other groups that Sue and Lori would be a good people from which to receive feedback, to learn about how they use the Student Information System, and to discover their needs that they may have in the kind of data reports that they might need to pull from a potential system.

As with each of these sessions, I presented them with this slidedeck:




And here was their wish list and particular items of note:

• Interoperability with Ravenna
• Student, parents and household ID assignment - how does that occur - can they be manually assigned?
• Data control and integrity
• Demographics reporting - stock and custom
• Contract/ Deposit/ ACH Form Notifications & Access
• Ease of use for parents to re-enroll
• Parent to-do list for re-enrollments
• Access to previous years grades, transcripts, report cards
• Ability to archive previous years
• Access to gradebooks from previous years
• UL DL / Latency time when gradebook reports are running (monthly) - takes 2+ hours per grade level
• Parent teacher conference scheduling management
• Bell schedules - we have around 70 schedules @ US - ease of creating new schedules - LS has even more schedules
