"Of the many administrative school systems available, we chose Schoolmaster Information Systems because of Tyler Technlogies' willingness to work with our district to identify our needs and to help us structure a system to meet those needs...
We have been very pleased with our choice of information system and very satisfied with our ongoing telephone support."
Assistant Principal in Connecticut
"Schoolmaster has been wonderful in preparing the way for implementation of electronic reporting. Through their conferences and phone support, you can always count on them to be there to help with any problems or questions."
Schoolmaster PASS (Parental Access Support System)
This exclusive Schoolmaster feature allows you to create confidential HTML pages that contain a snapshot of the student information in the Schoolmaster database. To access this information, family members use the student's Schoolmaster ID number and a user-definable PIN (Personal Identification Number). For security and privacy, the student's name and PIN are not shown anywhere on the PASS pages. PASS can be configured to create pages for some or all of the following Schoolmaster information:

In order to use PASS, your site must have a Web server, or access to a Web server via a local ISP. The PASS extract works best when a Schoolmaster workstation has direct access to the Web server so the pages can be created (or copied) directly to the server. This eliminates the extra step of having to upload (FTP) the HTML pages.
