Time-Consuming Administrative Tasks

Without a central system to keep things organized, teachers spent excessive time on administrative workloads. This diverted valuable time from core teaching responsibilities and made it harder to provide effective support to students learning from home.

Paper Dependency

The school's reliance on traditional paper-based systems for obtaining signatures, managing attendance, and securing parental authorizations is no longer practical with online education. The school needs to adapt to a platform that can digitally manage these workflows more efficiently.

Remote Learning Barriers 

Online schooling has made it more difficult for teachers to maintain effective communication with their students. With no access to a reliable system, tracking attendance and logging daily activities becomes fragmented. At the same time, parents are left with no clear insight into their child’s learning progress.

Challenges in Consolidating Student Records

The absence of a centralized system makes it difficult for teachers and staff to efficiently gather and organize student records, such as grades, attendance, and school activities. When information is scattered across different systems, it takes longer to find what’s needed.

Real-time Attendance Tracking

SCAffold provides parents with an easy way to log daily attendance and monitor what their child is learning. This helps them stay actively involved in their child's education. Everything syncs in real-time, ensuring updates are instantly accessible to teachers without the hassle of extra paperwork. 

Online Course Pre-Registration

Managing and processing student registrations has now become an online process for faculty members. With AppSheet's user-friendly online platform, students can easily register for their classes without the need to fill out paper forms. This digital solution is designed to simplify enrollment, save time, and ensure a smooth start to the academic year.

Automated Master Agreements

Getting signatures and handling master agreements, documents that outline each student’s courses used to be a time-consuming process. Now, thanks to AppSheet, the whole process is done online, eliminating the need for in-person visits to the school. 

Once finalized, the system automatically generates a PDF that is stored within the AppSheet platform and can be easily shared with parents for convenient access. This streamlined approach is faster, simpler, and far more convenient for everyone involved.

Centralized Admin Dashboard

Significant Time Savings for Educators
