Schools Use ADM2000 WEB Parent/Student/Staff Module as "Communications

Tool" to Help Parents Track Students' Progress

ACE Software has launched a new module for its ADM2000 Student Management Software that allows parents, students and staff to access and input student information for K-12 schools via the Web at any time, from anywhere. School districts can use the WEB Parent/Student/Staff module as an effective, easy-to-use communications tool that enables parents to obtain information about their children's progress (homework, grades, discipline, attendance) in real time.

Teachers can perform grading and attendance, make homework assignments and record disciplinary actions via the Web -- less time-consuming for teachers and administrative staff than performing those tasks at a school-based computer. ADM2000 WEB Parent/Student/Staff also offers staff a complete history of student progress in all classes that the student has taken -- past or present -- at the school. Students can input their own schedule requests, check homework assignments and keep track of their grades.

ADM2000 WEB Parent/Student/Staff provides real-time access to real-time data on demand; it's not a downloaded product.

"Superintendents and principals told us they needed an easy-to-use communications tool that would inform parents of their children's progress using real-time data," said Mike Uhrin, president/founder of ACE Software. "WEB Parent/Student/Staff supplies that. It's also an excellent 'public relations' tool for school administrators with parents and staff."
