FAQ Frequently Asked Questions


What is Student Data System (SDS)?

Student Data System is a web-based solution to manage school grading, classes, students and schedules. It allows administrators, teachers, students and parents to exchange information about student progress in school.

What are some key features of Student Data System?

Gradebook, Attendance, Progress Reports, Report Cards, Customized School Web Portal, Email Notifications, and More.

What does “no setting” system mean?

There is no hardware, software or IT staff requirements. The school administrator can create and manage their school online using only a web-browser and internet connection.

How long does it takes to create a school in SDS?

We encourage you to browse through our educational materials, experience our demo school, and watch our tutorial. Once you've familiarized yourself with our system, your school's online gradebook can be created in 5-15 minutes. However, completion of the entire school with students will depend upon the size of your school. Based on our experience, it will take approximately two hours to create a school with 150 students.

Does SDS provide assistance in data transfer from my existing system?

Yes, for supported versions.

What is the main difference between the types of schools in SDS?

  • Free Version – Free to use and has all the basic functionality.
  • Supported and Enterprise Versions – Adds customer support, email notifications, yearly data retention, assisted data transfer, progress reports, report cards, and state reporting.
  • Test Version – School is intended for test purposes only. You can create any number of schools to test different scenarios. Our system will remove test schools after 48 to 72 hours.

What is the demo school?

A hands-on demonstration of our features may help guide you through the possibilities of our online gradebook system, so we've created a typical middle school to let you experience our program. You can log in as an administrator, teacher, student, or parent. All changes you make in the system will be reflected. For example, as a teacher you can add grades and then see how those grades are reflected in the system when logged in as a student. There are no limitations on what you can do. The demo school is refreshed every night. Any similarity to actual schools, students, teachers or other entities is purely accidental and unintentional. We hope our demo school gives you some fresh ideas on how to improve your school's gradebook system, and we'd love to hear your questions, feedback, and success stories.

How do I register my school?

It's easy! Simply register your school and you're ready to use our program. For the Supported and Enterprise Version, which includes full support, we will contact you to arrange for payment and support. We also invite you to contact us at any time.
