Technologist Used the software for: ### "Maplebrook School" March 25, 2013 5.0 I came into schoolfront as an existing tool that the school uses. I found it easy to learn and intuitive. We have many international students and it makes it easy for the parents of those students to keep abreast of how their child is doing while at school. Tom Karafonda and staff have been easy to work with -- they are flexible and patient; and while we are a very small, unique boarding school, we are treated very well by the team at schoolfront. Pros Availability of assignments and grades -- we are a boarding school with remote parents, schoolfront provides a central place that they can go to keep current with how their son/daughter is doing in school We have a new requirement to implement a unique behavior reward system online. The staff at schoolfront gathered the information for what we have been doing with a paper trail and have incorporated the process in schoolfront. While it hasn't gone "live" yet, the test environment has met our needs and we are excited to go live with it during the summer. Schoolfront has been very responsive in meeting our requests. Our staff is eager to go live. Cons Our teachers are low-tech for the most part and they don't like change. While I like the upgrades in capability, our teachers struggle when various components change \[for the better\] and they have to relearn how to use certain areas of schoolfront. Once they've made the adjustment, all is well with the world. Review Source PP Pati P. Teacher Used the software for: ### "Sad I can no longer use SchoolFront :0(" March 23, 2011 5.0 I used SchoolFront for a number of years, around four, I think. It was a great way to get parents involved in actively keeping themselves abreast of their children's grades. Not all parents had internet service, but even some those who didn't would go to a library, or use a friend's computer in order to access SchoolFront. I loved it because it was totally customizable, and it made all the calculations for me! I didn't worry about losing data, because SchoolFront was backed up daily on the servers. If I needed a hard copy of a report for a student, I only had to print one. I was sad when we stopped using this in favor of the District's version. I would highly recommend this to any school wanting to increase their communication with parents and give teachers a tool for keeping grade data secure but accessible. Pros \* Parent involvement \* Greater student awareness of status \* Online storage \* Customization \* Availability of printed reports \* Superb customer support \* Clarity of design \* User-friendly Cons \* Not connected to District data \* Attendance data had to be manually entered \* Parental interface not teacher-controlled Review Source YW Yolonda W.

It's too help students grades K-12 with learning skills Cons There could have been much better material for kids in certain grade levels like 5th.

Pros my favorite thing about this software is to be honest it really awesome. Cons my least thing is really I don't have one every thing on here awesome. Review Source CS Carol S. lead teacher Used the software for: ### "loved the program" January 19, 2011 5.0 I would highly recommend this program. Unfortunately my district went with another vendor much to my and my students' dissatisfaction. Pros I am not a "computer" person. I still keep a paper grade book but I absolutely LOVED using SchoolFront. I did put in grades and attendance daily. My students really liked being able to keep track of their most current average, what work they needed to make up, what that night's assignment was etc. Parents could also have updates without playing phone tag with me. This program can really put the responsibility back where it belongs, with the student (and parent)...no excuses for "not knowing". Cons no complaints that I can think of Review Source DK Don K. Teacher/Network Assistant Used the software for: ### "School Front - Grades and More..." January 11, 2011 5.0 I would highly recommend this product to any teacher/administrator who wants to have an easy to use and full featured communciations tool with students and parents in this day of age. Pros I found School Front a powerful tool on several fronts: Ease of use from the stand point of a teacher, communicate with students so they have instant feedback as to how they are doing, and parents can easily keep up-to-date on how thier child is doing. Cons More functions for administrators. Review Source KG Kathy G.
