Tutoring Plan (Coming Soon)

We have a new app in the works that will allow schools to sell Tutoring Lessons via the QuickSchools Portal for Students and Parents. 

The school admin can define hourly rates as well as discounted packages for students/parents to purchase online. Once purchased, the school admin can then assign the student to a specific tutor, who will then perform the lesson. The tutor can then record completed lessons (and hours) online for students/parents to review.

More info coming soon.

Why Classroom Design Matters More Than Ever

If you walk into a classroom today, don’t be surprised if it looks nothing like the straight rows of desks you grew up with. Teachers are rethinking classroom design, shifting furniture around like interior designers on a mission. Sometimes it’s about carving out space for collaboration, sometimes it’s about giving students more choice in where they work, and other times it’s just about keeping the energy fresh. One thing’s certain: classroom design and layout are not random. It shapes how the day feels, how smoothly lessons flow, and how students connect.

We just released a few minor improvements to the Lunch Ordering app in order to support a new and improved PDF Template for the Lunch Roster PDF. If you have installed the “PDF Templates” App (currently in Beta), you can now select the “New Lunch Roster Report” PDF template. This template allows you to include additional pages for (1) Teacher Orders and (2) Summary of Orders, as well as show/hide Homeroom details.

The Lunch Roster PDF now sorts pages by Grade Level, and sorts columns by Meal Sort Order too. Check out these apps on our QuickSchools App Store:

Track Student Progress the Smarter Way with Integrated Gradebooks

Elya NadzriLeave a comment

If you’re an educator, administrator, or school leader, you already know this truth: tracking student progress isn’t as simple as just entering grades anymore. It’s switching between spreadsheets, emails, and outdated portals, all while trying to keep up with lesson planning, parent communication, and school-wide reporting requirements. Even after all that, you’re still left wondering: “Is this the most effective way to support student growth?” Here’s the good news: it doesn’t have to be this hard. Imagine a gradebook that stores grades, pulls in data automatically, gives you real-time insights, and helps everyone stay on the same page. We’ll show you exactly what an integrated gradebook can do, why more schools are making the switch, and how it could dramatically simplify your workflows, improve student support, and save your team a ton of time and stress.
