This is a web-based school administration software that helps manage school operations from one central location. It streamlines tasks like student enrollment and tracking, attendance, student information, and invoicing. It enables efficient communication between school administrators, teachers, students, and parents.
The software is designed to support the entire division on one or more central computers but can also work just fine for a single school. Several school divisions currently use this approach and have 15+ schools on a single central server as the software is designed to be lightweight in server resource requirements and communication bandwidth.
Security is a top priority for Open Admin for Schools. Each school has two or more virtual websites, and each one is protected with password(s). The 'admin' site is used by the school office, while the 'teacher' site is used by teachers in the classroom. The teacher site also has password access for entering attendance by teachers and uses cookies that expire in a short period to limit access further.
Parent/student access is controlled by user IDs and passwords, and a fourth virtual site may be used by school liaison officers from outside agencies to give them slightly different access to school information (Community Schools). Overall, Open Admin for Schools is an excellent software program for managing school administration as it provides a secure and user-friendly option for schools to access their relevant data.
