In Addison NW we are using SASIxp at our four schools. The K6 schools
are using it for attendance, health, and discipline. The M/HS uses it
also for period attedance scheduling, report cards, transcripts. The
teachers in the K6 use Filemaker for standards based report cards for
the first time this year. We do import some SASI data for use in the
report cards. They have access to the system using Citrix which allows
for access over the web. The M/HS uses Integrade pro for report cards.
We are generally happy with the program although the Integrade program
is not fully integrated with SASI. We are moving to a server based
version next year.
Our FileMaker system will be used K8 next year but not in the HS due to
transcripts, ranking, etc.

I've searched through archives on this list first, but didn't get much
info....
What are schools using for their student information systems?
Here in Barre we are using Pearson Education Systems "Chancery
SMS" (web-based for K-8) and Chancery MacSchool (9-12). While the
current
solution is working, and is integrated (via a replicator), there are
changes afoot....
Pearson has repositioned SMS as a product for middle to large school
districts (their documentation states "30,000 students" as a starting
point). Barre has roughly 3k students. We've also been told that
MacSchool is going to go away at some point (date unknown).
For K-8, SMS is used for electronic standards-based report cards,
gradebook
(middle school), electronic attendance, behavior incidents,
transportation
and transfer of student info between our 2 K-8 schools and the SHS/BVT
campus. For SHS/BVT, MacSchool is used for report cards, eclass
gradebook,
behavior, and attendance.
So, we're wondering who is using what for a SIS.....and does it fit
your
needs? comments?
