Last year our school’s PowerSchool system wasn’t ready for the first grading period. We ended up handwriting report cards for every student in the building. As the end of the second quarter approached the system still wasn’t ready. I decided to create a solution and, in the course of two days, created a grade/transcript tracking system for the school. Each teacher used a secure login, was presented a list of their courses & students, and was able to enter grades and comments. The system tracked which grades still needed to be entered and, once everything was in, generated printable report cards to mail home. This year the administration decided to go back to PowerSchool, but EVERY grading period multiple teachers ask me why we couldn’t “just use your system that was so much easier.”
