“quick access and useful data”

Pros

Navigating the system is fairly easy for me and it keeps a lot of information available in one place. Most of the time, I can jump in and find exactly what I need without wasting much time.

Cons

It would really help if I could save and reuse entries in drop-down fields when completing forms. Re-entering the same administrator names on every form gets frustrating so having the option to store those names in a drop-down list would be very useful.

“all student data in one place”

Pros

I really appreciate that everything about our students is stored in one place. I don't have to go digging for IEPs, medical details, allergies, or past grades anymore because it's all right there when I need it. Being able to enter multiple grades at once is also a huge plus and it makes the process really simple.

Cons

One thing I'd really like is the ability to view a student's grades from the previous semester on the same page as their current grades. That would make it much easier to tell whether their performance is improving or starting to slip.

“helpful student tracking tools”

Pros

Anyone who has worked in education has probably come across it at some point. I found the tabs simple to locate and having two separate search bars, one for students and one for tabs, was really useful. That setup made my work much more manageable. I also really appreciated the high-risk tab bar because it clearly shows which students may be slipping through the cracks so I can step in and support them in specific areas like attendance, grades and stability.

Cons

Honestly I do not have much negative to say about it. If I had to point out something small, it would be the student search bar. I wish it allowed searches by first name and offered more results options since right now you can only search by a student's last name. It would also be helpful to have a search bar for parents so you could look them up and connect them to their student or students.

“Perfect student info at a glance”

Pros

I've found that having IC makes it simple to pull up IEPs and review medical notes or other student alerts whenever needed. I can also print information to share with staff and add assessment details that the whole team can access and use.

Cons

Back when we tried using IC for grade tracking, it wasn't a good fit for us at the elementary school level. Since we stopped using it for that, I really don't have any complaints now.

“helpful parent updates and grade tracking”

Pros

Parents and caregivers can stay up to date with their child's grades, lunch account balance, schedule, required documents and several other useful tools all in one place. I also like that it gives teachers the ability to update grades, mark assignments as late or missing and add notes whenever needed.

Cons

I honestly don't see any major downsides to the software. If anything, I'd just like to see a section where parents can leave a comment or confirm that they've acknowledged a grade in some way.

“user-friendly online classroom tools”

Pros

Using this learning management system has been very easy for me. It lets me access and manage all the key functions needed for the online classroom experience without any confusion.

Cons

At the beginning, I did run into some trouble when trying to use it to communicate with support but that issue was eventually resolved.

“flexible gradebook and seating charts”

Pros

The gradebook is really easy to use and I find the seating charts work well for taking attendance while also supporting local needs effectively.

Cons

One thing I'd love to see is the ability to rotate desks in the seating chart. It would also help to have an option for class-specific student nicknames. Right now, only admin-level users can enter nicknames which gets frustrating when a student wants to go by a nickname instead of their first name.

“Great for daily grade tracking”

Pros

Keeping up with my kids' school progress has been really convenient for me with this application. I use it to check their grades, view and add money to their food service balances and find teacher contact information whenever I need to send an email with a question. The information is refreshed every day so I can stay updated on grades and any missing or outstanding work to help make sure they keep up. I truly love this software.

Cons

At this point, I haven't run into any issues with the software. Everything I personally need is right there and available with just a click.

“user-friendly tools for teachers”

Pros

Using it day to day feels very easy for me with the tasks I handle most often. Entering lunch and attendance is simple and I find the student contact section especially well organized, with detailed information kept in one convenient place. The grading tools are also clear and uncomplicated even for teachers who are not very comfortable with technology.

Cons

Although the grading tools are easy, they take more time than they should. Since each subject area opens on a separate page, it becomes tedious for teachers managing multiple classes to click through everything. The help section also needs improvement because it is fairly limited and it often ends up being faster to ask a coworker instead which only adds more time to the process.
