“helpful health alerts and care plans
Pros
One of the best parts of the software is being able to flag students who have medical concerns. Setting up a critical health alert helps teachers and other school staff quickly recognize students who may be high risk. It's also really useful that the school nurse can upload individualized health care plans into Alma which makes sharing important health details much more efficient for the people who need access to that information.
Cons
The only downside I've noticed is the program speed. At times it can be slower than expected especially when trying to pull up student health information.

“Has been great!
Pros
Has been a huge win for our school especially when it comes to state reporting integration and how simple the system is to learn and teach to others. Teachers and admins can keep up with their caseloads without trouble and pull up key information quickly. The customer support is always right there on the homepage which is really convenient and responses come back incredibly fast whenever we reach out. Our office staff also really appreciates being able to securely manage student information in the system and move through details we couldn't access nearly as well in our previous software.
Cons
Only real adjustment was not having an option to send parent alerts by phone call. At first that took some getting used to but our families have adapted to receiving texts and emails instead. If phone call alerts are added later on that would be a feature we'd be very happy to have.
