Web-based Student Information Database including Attendance, Scheduling and Report Cards

very school faces the problem of choosing a database that will last a good number of years, live up to its promises and be easy to maintain, and have a good chance of upgrading smoothly to the next generation of tools.

Add in the recent calls for attendance, grade reporting, discipline and medical data inclusion in the same database and all available (securely, mind you) via the Web.

Unfortunately for many, those who have adopted desktop-based solutions have often found that adding the Web part is slow and fraught with trouble. That's why iteachnet chooses tools that are "native" to the Web, those based on Web/Internet technologies, not desktop tools "upgraded" for the Web. We like our tools light on their feet and easy on the wallet. That's why we're pleased to say we are now offering hosted school databases using Les Richardson's Open Admin for Schools. Already used in more than a dozen schools despite
its recent birth, Open Admin for Schools offers all of the above functionalities and Iteachnet has already successfully piloted it.

It includes, so far, the following basic functions and modules:

• Student Information.
• Student Medical Background.
• Attendance.
• Discipline.
• Grade Book.
• Report Cards.
• Scheduling (Time-table-making).
• IEP.
• Lunch time scheduling.
• Parent-Student Web Access to Grades and Attendance.
