About GradeCenter^TM

GradeCenter is a secure, web-based report card system designed to simplify the process of entering report card grades and printing report cards. GradeCenter provides schools a low-cost, high-value solution that is easy to integrate into any school system.

GradeCenter does not force teachers and administrators to learn and use a highly complex grading system. It is easy to use and extremely intuitive, allowing schools to receive immediate benefits from using GradeCenter!

Access Anywhere

GradeCenter is accessible from any computer that has Internet connectivity and a web browser. This feature allows teachers to input grades during grading periods from anywhere. No more staying late after school during grading periods!

Easy to Setup

Your system administrator will find the task of setting up GradeCenter for your school a snap. GradeCenter administration pages are highly data driven, making the setup process intuitive. Once you have the first year set up in GradeCenter you can use the 'Create New School Year' function to roll the students into their next grade level, elminating redundant data entry tasks.

Easy to Use

GradeCenter has a flexible, easy to use interface, making the task of entering grades, attendance, and teacher comments easy and intuitive. GradeCenter provides customizable data validation that eliminates most data entry errors.

Secure

Access to GradeCenter requires the user to have login capability. There are two user levels: Teacher and System Administrator. Users are defined and maintained by your system administrator. This feature allows your system administrator to control access. Printing report cards requires a special printing application, providing even more security.

No Information Technology Maintenance

GradeCenter requires no additional IT infrastructure for your school. We host the application on our servers, relieving your school from the cost and responsibilities associated with running your own software in-house.

• set up as many teachers as you like
• set up as many grade levels as you like

To enter grades and configure GradeCenter for your school, you will use a web browser. We support Internet Explorer 5.5 or greater, as well as uplevel versions of Netscape, Mozilla, and Firefox. Other browsers may work, but have not been fully tested with GradeCenter.

To view and print report cards, a PC running Windows XP (Home or Professional Edition) is required. The system should have at least 64MB RAM and 20MB of free disk space. GradeCenter supports most printers. We recommend you use a laser printer with at least 32MB RAM.

Can I import data into GradeCenter?

It is not possible to import existing data into GradeCenter at this time.

Can multiple users access GradeCenter at the same time?

Yes. There is not a restriction on concurrent access to the system. GradeCenter's fee structure is based on number of pupils, not number of users.

What if GradeCenter's report card format doesn't meet my school's needs?

We make every effort to include report card formats that will work for your school. If for some reason you are not able to find a format that works for your school, we can discuss creating a new report card format for your school's needs. A fee may be required, depending on the complexity of the report card design.

Can I get an electronic copy of the report cards?

In addition to printing hard-copy report cards, the report cards can be printed instead to a PDF or Microsoft Word file for archival purposes. You have full control over when you print your report cards and what format you wish to print them to.
