Activities & Athletics Form Tracker

The Problem:

Reliable, efficient, and accountable record keeping for athletic departments is becoming more and more difficult. It's critical to increase accountability and make sure that athletes have submitted appropriate forms and that coaches have gone to their required training. However, most athletic departments are swamped with required paperwork, and using an inefficient system to keep track of who has turned in which forms becomes a logistical nightmare for both athletic directors and coaches.

The AccuScholar Solution:

AccuScholar has attacked these problems by implementing a centralized system which keeps coaches in the loop and allows athletic directors and district officials to easily see the forms each person has turned in or still needs to turn in. As submitted forms are physically received, athletic directors can quickly check them off online.

Feature Highlights

  • Track required form submissions for your school district's players and coaches.
  • Set expiration dates for forms; receive text & email alerts when they expire.
  • Use quick search to find information about a player or coach in seconds.
  • Unlimited online access anytime, 24/7 — nothing to download or install.
  • Generate advanced reports to visualize forms and eligibility status.
  • Import and export team rosters to compatible systems — no repetitive entry.
  • View access logs of all changes for greater security and transparency.
  • Send mass text messages to entire teams with practice updates and more.

What People Are Saying

"I have been using AccuScholar for about 6 months now and find it to be a very easy and efficient way to track the mountains of paperwork required for each student and coach. Building teams is a one click process and updating the dates forms are turned in is also very simple. Every time I have discovered another form that needed to be generated from the database, the guys at AccuScholar were quick to respond. I would recommend it to any busy AD who is swamped with forms!"

Parent-Teacher Conference Scheduling

conferences

The Problem:

Scheduling parent-teacher conferences is an annual hassle that wastes teachers' time. Every year, teachers spend countless hours printing out forms, distributing them in class, trying to arrange schedules so that all parents can get conferences, and playing phone-tag with parents when there are scheduling conflicts. Furthermore, some parents might never even see the conference forms because students don't bring them home!

The AccuScholar Solution:

AccuScholar Interactive solves these problems by allowing parents to sign up for conferences online. This removes all the hassle from the process. Parents can immediately see which slots are open and choose the one they want. Teachers can then log in and print out an automatically generated schedule for the entire conference day(s), showing the parents that signed up for each slot. Teachers don't have to do anything else!

We provide a very flexible system that can accommodate conferences that span multiple days, variable timeslot length, and timeslot reservation so that teachers can reserve timeslots for certain students (or for lunch!).

Administrators see at-a-glance statistics for conference events, even those that span multiple days and times. Administrators and office clerks view and modify full conference schedules for all teachers. Teachers see their entire conference schedule. Parents sign up on their own, so there are no more papers to send back and forth. Office clerks can also schedule conferences here if parents call the school office directly.
Easily send a mass email to all parents signed up for a conference, notifying them of last-minute changes or information. Parents sign up for conferences with all teachers all at once. Unavailable times are clearly marked with an X, so parents immediately see the times they can choose from. Administrators can create unlimited sessions for a single conference event, including multiple days. They can also set a cutoff date when no new conferences can be scheduled.

What People Are Saying

"I liked not having to go back & forth with paper forms, knowing right away what conference times were available, and being able to print my finished schedule."

Textbook Inventory Management

books

The Problem:

Students lose textbooks every year. Schools hold the students accountable for these lost books, but it's often difficult to keep track of them all using decentralized paper records. As a result, schools lose a significant portion of their textbook inventory each year.

The AccuScholar Solution:

The Textbook Management Inventory module is a centralized textbook inventory system that electronically assigns individual textbooks to students. Administrators use it to print unique barcode labels and attach them to the back of each textbook. During pre-registration for the school year, the textbooks are checked out to students based on their class schedules. The labeling and checkout process is a great opportunity for the school's PTSA volunteers to get involved.

The checkout process is very intuitive. Using a compatible USB barcode reader (available through AccuScholar), an administrator or volunteer scans the student's ID card and the barcode on the back of each textbook. The book is now checked out! At the end of the school year, books are checked back in by scanning their barcodes again. Administrators can use this module to see a master list of the textbooks that haven't been turned in and the students who still have them.

This module also makes it easy to return lost textbooks to their owners. If any staff or faculty member finds a textbook in the hallway, they can log in to AccuScholar Interactive and enter the book's barcode. The name and course schedule of the student who checked out the textbook will then appear so that the textbook can easily be returned.

Instantly scan a textbook's ISBN barcode using our provided electronic barcode reader. AccuScholar Interactive automatically looks up the textbook's details from Amazon.com's vast database. Specify how many copies of the textbook your school owns and easily organize them into purchase groups based on their price and date of purchase, all for quicker and more efficient accounting.
Use AccuScholar Interactive's Print Center to print out barcodes that will track multiple copies of the same book. AccuScholar Interactive saves you time and automatically generates PDFs with barcode labels that you can print on Avery label sheets. Check out individual textbooks just by scanning their barcode and a student's ID card.
Scan a student's ID card (or type in their username) and quickly see the books they have checked out. Scan a textbook (or type in its barcode) and immediately see who currently has it checked out. Any faculty or staff member can look up a lost textbook they find in the hallway, and there's no more guessing about who it belongs to. View a thorough textbook inventory report organized by student last name and grade. Perfect for seeing who still hasn't turned in their books at the end of the year.
Click on the name of a student in the textbook inventory list and immediately see the classes they have during the day. View a summary textbook inventory report organized by textbook title. See at a glance how many individual textbooks are checked out and how many are still available. View a detailed list of all the purchase groups and individual textbooks for a particular title.
