comments. He custom designed drop-down boxes and comment fields for us. We
easily upload the data export from Senior Systems and teachers access it
via the web from home or school. Parents get a mail-merged letter with
user id and password and they access it online 4 times/year. Contact me
offline and I will send you his name if you like. We lease the s/w from
him and he hosts it so there is no additional load to our (small) IT staff.
He also designed a custom scheduler so parents can schedule their teacher
conferences online themselves based on our criteria.
