Skills-based Report Cards for Montessori Schools
The QuickSchools Report Cards module has evolved tremendously over the years, thanks to feedback from our family of schools. And we’re very proud of the simplicity and the flexibility it has to offer. Although we already offer a variety of report card templates that can suit the needs of many schools, we can also create custom report cards for schools that have very specific formats.
Below is a sample booklet-style skills-based report card that can be used for Montessori schools:

This type of report card has traits very similar to the Standards-based report cards we mentioned for Primary (K-3/K-8) Schools. You can actually very easily set up your own standards/skills to be evaluated upon, and you can also define how each standard/skill is assessed via a dropdown. Read more…
We want to hear from you
It’s the end of the year, and we’re collecting feedback, not just for ourselves, but for others who may be interested in a new school management system. Tell us what you think about your past year with QuickSchools. We’d love to hear from you.
We still have 3 iPad Minis that we’re dying to give away. For tips on putting together a video testimonial, check out this article:

Mailing Address Labels for Parents via Mail Merge
We’ve been asked several times on how to create mailing address labels for parents. This can actually very easily be done using MS Excel and MS Word. Here’s a quick tutorial:
First, Download the Mail Merge file from QuickSchools
Assuming you have access, just go to “Reports”, and find the “Parent Data for Mail Merge” report on QuickSchools, attached to “Current Student Data”. It is most likely on page 2 or 3 of your “Reports” menu.

Share Your QuickSchools Story Extended
Seeing as schools are busy closing out the 2012/2013 school year, we’ve decided to extend our “Share Your QuickSchools Story” campaign. We’ll possibly announce winners in our next newsletter. If you haven’t read about it, check it out here! You could win one of 3 iPad Minis. What a cool device to run QuickSchools for the summer and the next school year.

Email Notification with Private Messaging
Just a quick update: We’ve added an email notification for the Private Messaging. So whenever you receive a Private Message, you will also be notified via email. To turn off the notification, just open your Private Messages on QuickSchools, and click on the gears icon next to the “New Message” button:
Email Notification with Private Messaging
We’re hoping to improve our messaging capability even more in the coming months. Please let us know what types of notifications you’d like to see in future iterations as well.
Thanks!
Tracking Immunizations for Day Care and Pre-School
Our recently released Module-Based Custom Fields are perfect for tracking immunizations. In this case, you’d use the custom fields for the student record (we also have custom fields for admissions and teachers). The new QuickSchools framework allows you to organize and sort your fields, as well as control access. Here’s an example:
