Does anyone have a good student scheduling program then can
recommend? Here is our situation:
We currently use MacSchool as our scheduling software, which is no
longer supported after 2010. I am looking into new options, and
PowerSchool is very expensive and has a number of features we don't
need. Basically, our main student information system is a FileMaker
database with which we are all very happy. Each Spring, I export
student requests from FileMaker (student ID's and course numbers),
and import this information into MacSchool. There are two ladies
that then work with the MacSchool Scheduler to get all of the courses
assigned. Then I export the data from MacSchool back into FileMaker.
I am looking for a pretty user friendly scheduler that is not so
expensive (PowerSchool is over $10,000), and can easily import and
export data from excel or tab-delimited files.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
